I felt a need to write a tribute to a man who was sometimes maligned in life but only good is said as we mourn his death. it is well, and also sad, that this is human nature. We have another chance to learn from President George H.W. Bush's passing.

A Tribute to George H W Bush By Franklin Price 12/5/2018 Today we mourn the passing Of George H.W. Bush Be silent for a moment Don't say a word, it's time to shush He served this country many years Always went where he was sent In World War Two a pilot Later on the President He was always unassuming Was not one to toot his horn Was a patriot when living As is the man that now we mourn The President now in his place Claimed this HW's day All government brought to a halt All flags from half staff sway I find it very interesting That all speak of him well Even parties on the other side Have had good things to tell It's a shame a good man had to die To have people act this way We should practice live civility As we move on from this day Rest in peace HW You do not suffer any more I'm sure Barbara was waiting As you went through Heaven's door
