When I was very young,
They sent you away from
me,
This is because according to them,
you could not live the way they want you to
live and be,
They had such plans for you at birth,
but you wanted to be yourself,
and this was not in their plans
so they threw you out.
You found your faith in the same
church that I have found my faith in now
They sent me away too because according to
them I am failure now

No matter how hard we tried
it wasn't  good enough
so neither of us had a home
but we were sent upon on own.

The one thing they could not do to me,
is turn the men who said that they loved me
against me, but I must admit that two out
of three marriages was not meant to be.

The one marriage that was happy,Β Β Anna and the state did
ruin for me, and now I can't forgive her although I have tried
to again and again, I find impossible to do.

You are forever in my heart, you died so tragically and needlessly,
I don't think they cried for you, they cried for themselves you see
They separated us for each other by death but we have
eternal life that will us together for the rest our lives.

In Loving Memory of my late oldest brother,
Benjamin L. Wesson Jr,
born December 8, 1944
and died August 8, 1967 in Rock Spring, Wyoming.
I will alway love you.
