Once more
grief has dealt a heavy hand
this time
tempered with
peace and ease for
a tossed and troubled soul.
A man who loved
the puzzles and mystery of humanity
working the land for its fruits,
his family more than life itself,
his grandchildren with joy and cheer
his friends always with a helping hand
and he served his country with pride.
A man of simple wants
whose tender and kind heart
could not be hidden
from children or animals
despite a sometimes gruff and stern face ~
kind and twinkling eyes
gave him away every time.
“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that
in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”
~ Kahlil Gibran
