Willie James Childs

West Point, 1986

Be Thou At Peace

I will never forget you, my brother.
you were an inspiration not only to me but to others.
Your life was cut short and i don't know why;
It's been almost 12 years and I still ask "why did my only brother have to die?"

You were a son, a Friend, and a lover, but to me you are none other than:
My brother...
