In Memory Of Derrick "Chan" Burrough 10-02-60 -01-21-06

Once upon a time
before I knew him,
his health stood as a mighty tree,
he was an unswerving wave
on life's tumultuous sea.
The trails and tribulations
are no longer at his door,
the gnawing pain and suffering
will badger him no more.

Once upon a time is all
it took for me to know him,
the love and warmth he freely gave
will never cease or dim.
He left me with fond memories;
they will live forevermore,
God bless and may he rest in peace,
beyond this finite shore.
