A man of valor, as of old a man of love and stories told. The only one who always cared a special friend, forever there. He always had a hug for me and called me by the name "Sparky". He owned a little shop in town and here I would always be found. He made me cherry cokes and dreams he gave to me my self esteem. He read to me of superman, it was through him my hopes began. Ten years ago he passed this world and left behind this saddened girl. But truly we are not apart as he lives on within my heart. Dedicated to Merle, one of the best men the world has ever seen. I miss you.. |

Sandra, A beautiful tribute to a beautiful man. He knows he's in your heart, and I'm sure he's watching over you, and is very proud of his little "Sparky". A wonderfully touching poem... Love, Elise |

Oh Sandra ... what a wonderful tribute to your grandfather! You got me reminiscing myself. I lost my grampa about 10 years ago as well. We're so very fortunate to have such fond memories ... sigh ... great writing, and thank you for bring back some of these happy thoughts for me too. Best wishes, /Kit |
