He

Memory He was wild and strong, our elder We learned from him I remember him in his youth We all have some one like that 45 years later He is a shell of his former self Mountains we climbed as we hunt Colorado,Arizona,Utah Treating me like a son Some times better then your own father We all have some one like that Teaching us how short life really is Ive had time to share some of his life I learned joy,fear,respect, Learned that what men do is'nt always right While he is here he will never walk alone For I will be there as he was for me We all have some one like that So take the time to absorb the memories Hold them tight For some times that is all we have left We all have some one like that
