Bob, Blessing On Blessing

I know some of you won't understand 
But I really loved the man
Closer than a brother and
More than a true friend

With a sparkle in his eyes
Spoke the truth amongst the lies
Spread the word throughout his life
Knew the goal, saw the prize 

Steps of courage in his walk
Words of wisdom in his talk
Godly counsel always sought
Knew the reason to the cost 

Always stood for what was right
Always strived for the best in life
Most of the time you would find
Him with the weary spending time

Now do you understand
Why it was I loved the man
Closer than a brother and
More than a true friend



Thinking of my mentor and friend 
who passed away a couple good years back...
we shall meet again!
