ODE TO MY FRIEND...

Long before you knew it
God had bestowed many
gifts to you my friend...

He has given you the craft
of building with your hands.
Building small and large...

He has given you the power
of words... from telling a short
story making a child laugh -- to
a novel filled with suspense
and fantasy...

He has given you the gift of
music to sing that song that
fell on the ears of your son..
Sweet sounds of lullabies when he
was a lil one drifting off to slumber...

He gave you the gift of idealism
to be that dreamer/mentor... to share
at times the philosophies and
wisdom of past greats'...

Within your mind, your hands, your
voice .... You my friend have
many gifts to share and hand down
to your "son"..
