In loving memory of our beloved brother and uncle John Ralph Burkett, Jr. whose birthday is February 23, 1964.

Thinking of You with Love

Birthday thoughts of you today,

But that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday,

And days before that too.

We think of you in silence,

We often speak your name.

All we have are memories,

And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake,

With which we will never part.

God has you in His keeping,

We have you in our hearts.

A million times we’ve wanted you.

A million times we cried.

If love could only have saved you,

You never would have died.

It broke our hearts to lose you.

But you didn’t go alone.

For a part of us went with you...

The day God called you Home.
