Family, Work, Play, Sing
He always did the right thing
He endured Life’s pain

His complete Passing
Child, Man, to his ripe Old Age
Father paid his dues.

I think he paid his dues with happiness too, seeing he had someone special like you to understand and honor him. Great job writing this, I think it shines as bright as the memories you have of him.

A Mused Cupid - Thank you. His principles shaped me into the man I am today. He paid his way and did not expect anyone else do so.

JB - Yes, I am missing him, now. Thank you for reading.

I liked this. Short and quite nice.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

I am sorry for your loss, Melton. You have paid him a fine and fitting tribute in few words.
