He walked tall, and proud, yet humble in his heart
A man of good character, that set him apart
from all other men, he was one of a kind
when others asked him for favors, he hardly ever declined
He was a devoted husband, he never neglected his vows
A committment of fifty-six years to his wife until the day he died
His dedication was to God, he was a faithful servant
He held high values, and stood his ground, and his old schood wisdom was very sound
When I had a problem, we would have special talks,
or just wanted to listen to his valuable thoughts
of the past events that helped shaped his life
that made him a strong man in spite of all his difficult strife
A living legend he will always be, like precious treasures thrown out to sea
He will always be missed, his memory is forever lasting
but I know he is in glory with his creator eternally
