To Bob, On His 85th Birthday Empty To Bob, On His 85th Birthday

Post  mikeschultz Tue Oct 02 2012, 14:57

Gentlemen are hard to find and harder to recognize.
It is beyond our congress as one accepts or denies

Honor and responsibility for bearing the roles
Of husband and father, brother and friend to kindred souls.

Businessman, teacher, coach and sports writer, and a nice guy,
Quick with a story within a story, Bob isn’t shy.

Local historian of the world within our valley,
Writer, author and orator, thinking, he walks daily,

Taking his exercise in contemplative wanderings,
Pondering the whims and ways of carpenters and kings

Eating cabbages the way walruses devour oysters,
With a will to survive knowing all that passion bestirs,

In ceaseless celebration each date of a person’s birth,
Recalled to show what love of family and friend is worth.
