You're not a million miles away
But oh we wish and wish each day
That time, the separation, quickly passed
And you were home with us at last,
With "Honours" and a job well done,
Completed, just as you begun.
But, if of course you have to roam,
Remember that this is home
From where your strivings all began
With younger brother John.
It's your example spurs him on
To success! You have shown
'Real brothers' never walk alone.
Douglas R. Tallet, October 1963
