Another year...
...Sorry Charles, I'm late...
...But I have not forgotten you,...
...and so many others,...
...You see, we've been fortunite enough to be very busy this year, The masses have been trimming trees, and mowing lawns, swimming and dancing, only by the grace of God, and men like you...
...In 66, I was trying as hard as I could to peddle up my hill, I know that you were running hard trying to make it up another hill so far away...
...The little town of Selkirk is still nestled among the burbs, and it hasn't changed much, The people wave as you drive by, They know not the thoughts that fill my moments, wondering if that was the hardware store where you might have worked for your first job, the corner store where penny candy glistened from jars, the wail of the one lone fire tower telling you it was noon, Yes Selkirk is still there, but you are not, but you are not forgotten...
...It is now 37 years later, and I hope you are cradled in the arms of your brothers as they with you...
...Welcome home"...
