JULES DESAUTELS Passed away September 12, 2009 HE'S MY BROTHER The road is long with many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where. But I am strong, strong enough to carry him; He isn't heavy, he's my brother. So we go; his welfare is my concern No burden is he to bear, we will get there. For I know he would not encumber me; He ain't heavy, he's my brother. If I am laden at all, I am laden with sadness That everyone's heart isn't filled with gladness. It is a long, long road, from which there is no return. And the load does not weigh me down at all. He ain't heavy, he's my brother. His sister Irma.
