When they built you brother, they broke the mold...



IN MEMORIAM
In Loving Memory Of
T.J. MICHAUD 
Who Passed Away May 9,  2004

Well they built the Titanic to be one of a kind,
but many ships have ruled the seas
They built the Eiffel Tower to stand alone,
but they could build another if they please
Taj Mahal, the pyramids of Egypt,
are unique I suppose
But when they built you brother,
they broke the mold
Now the world is filled with many wonders
under the passing sun
And sometimes something comes along
and you know it's for sure the only one
The Mona Lisa, the David, the Sistine Chapel,
Jesus, Mary and Joe
And when they built you brother,
they broke the mold

When they built you brother,
they turned dust into gold
When they built you brother,
they broke the mold

They say you can't take it with you
but I think that they're wrong
'Cause all I know is I woke up the morning
and something big was gone
Gone into that dark ether
where you're still young & hard & cold
Just like when they built you brother,
they broke the mold

Now your death is upon us
and we'll return your ashes to the earth
And I know you'll take comfort in knowing
you've been roundly blessed and cursed
But love is a power greater than death,
just like the songs and stores told
And when she built you brother,
she broke the mold
                            -Bruce Springsteen

We love you and miss you every day, T.
