——
In memory of my brother Kenwyn :
At a glance one may see
A handsome man
A quiet man
A simple man
A hard-working man
but  the true measure of this man
Is not seen in a glance
This man,
This solid rock
This corner stone
This constant support
This leader of the pack
This protector of his own
This sounding board
This selfless act,
This is the man that we have known.
The true measure of this man runs deeper than that a passing glance.
