For Dale - My Hero
My mother’s second marriage and a godsend!
For one became my mom’s devoted son.
Sharp, exuberant, red-haired and fun,
to everyone he met, a truer friend
there could not be than him, who would defend
righteousness and with steadfastness won
success! In life, he would not be undone
until he met, with Fate, an early end.
His life snuffed out, his family - aghast -
It finished fast - no time to blink; inhale!
He passed beyond the veil with wisdom vast
(what treasure you amassed, beloved Dale).
Though in my dreams, with us here, he is cast,
I know he now serves God where angels dwell.
