Memorial to Jody Alan Crum

As you all know Jody Crum, my Big Brother died on 5/26/06. And I think it is only fair I should post this poem almost like an intro to the hunting season.

What does a brother do, when his brother is taken from him?

Do I head to the field to hunt, as if you are with me

Or do I stay in, and hurt and grieve

For hunting was what you and I did

To pass our time, to be together and to be free

We would hunt whenever the season was in

Or shoot our guns and bow and talk about the next season to begin

We would go to Bass Pro once a month

Just to be surronded by hunting stuff.

We were looking forward to going to Montana

To hunt the Milk River like Jordan,Wadell and Blanton

We talked about all the hunts we would make

And all the trophies we hoped to take

Just the other day we talked about having the fever

How we couldn't wait for this September

To be high in our tree

Watching nature as it be

They're many people who never experience what we have

To be brothers and hunters, boy were we glad

We were always the first to want to share

How great the outdoors are and what it meant to be there

What do I do now, since you have been taken from me

Do I go out this Fall and climb into my tree

Do I hunt harder then I ever had

Even though it will make me sad

Will you be there with me, helping me out

Giving me strength to go about

Will you help me should I fall

Will you answer me when I call

Where will you be this hunting season

Will you be the breeze against my face

Or will you be the leaves that blow in the wind

Or are you pushing the deer just around the bend

Please tell me will you be there

And that you want me to hunt instead of grieve

To enjoy the outdoors and all the memories we had

Because you are not gone but waiting for me

And if you could talk to me today, this is what you would say

I know that you miss me,

but please dry your eyes.

I will always be watching and hunting with you

from my home in the sky.

And although Brian the oldest brothr wrote this, I think this would exactly be what I would right. So everyone this hunting season, hunt safe and tell your family you love them

Re: Memorial to Jody Alan Crum

That is great, and I too know how you feel. I lost my older brother when I was 18yrs old, and that was an extremely hard thing to deal with. As a matter of fact, on the 15th of this month it will be 30 yrs since he has been gone. I think of him often, and the many things I have missed out on, but I remember many things that we also did together and I cherish each and every one of them. Trust me, he will be there, and you will know it, you'll feel it and you'll love it.
