Happy Birthday “Prof”, and at number ninety-five,
I believe your agile enough, to put down some jive.
Your life is a testimony, to how we should be living,
You’ve harvested less from life, than you were found giving.
Most past students, are quick, to shower you with praise,
When recalling fond times, dating to your classroom days.
But beyond teaching students, there were times life was raveled,
You’ve negotiated speed bumps, that most haven’t traveled.
I didn’t have the privilege of knowing Prof
or sitting in class under him since I’m eighty.
But through chance meetings and reputation
I’m proud to call him my friend.
a man who has influenced many lives.
Tom
