To Frank’s Memory

You were never one
To agree
Difficult as it was
To be your friend
You were tried and true
To no one but yourself
Giving sparsely to others

Working hard
But your love was true
Your family wanted more
Than you could give
Your dream being always
Of Austria your homeland
But you still were there

For your wife and daughter
Never leaving them behind
If only you could have loved them more
If only you had found them dearer
Before life gave you a hard blow
If only you could have lived longer

To once more embrace your
Family in love’s true glow
May your sorrow’s be now gone
May God embrace and keep you
Forever in His light.
