Description He was a man who was very wise,
You could see it with a glance of his eyes.
He was loved by so many and liked by everyone,
And in one lifetime, he's experienced and done,
So much for those he loved and those close.
And every event he showed he was the best host,
A man who lived to work the land.
A man who believed hard work was done by hand.
He belonged on a horse and country ranch,
He could live any where and start a fire with just a branch.
Someone so brave and always so strong,
Someone who lived a good life nice and long.
He taught me so much, everything I know,
And watched me for so many years as I grow.
He was my best friend and I loved him dear,
All of his memories and stories I hold near.
He will stay with us, those who love him,
For all of the smiles he never let go dim.
Though he was old, aged, and weathered,
His hair gray, and his skin like cured leather.
He was warm, kind, caring, and supportive,
And as long as I'm around his memory will live.
