Just Harrys Way

Aldham man Harry
In poetry tarried, stilting or lilting
Did thrust, and parry,  worthy Harry 
Western Aus, he claimed was good
Yet sadness tore three years away
Under the fierce sun, a darkness stood
Palling people faces of fear huddle.
And reasoning why how what here?
He'd faced it all, he'd caught some pain.'
Yet he'd get around it and begin again
He's forged some friendships, tightened
Some bonds, shared his thoughts and
Wisdom, as we were going along
Quite a charactér outstanding mate.'
Good memories and laughter he did
Did permeate; display, by God he was
Gifted,  yet he was low key..Just Harry's
Way.' Thats how he came across to me..

This is a sweet tribute to Harry. I know we can't put apostrophe in title (such a silly things) but you can say Harry's in the text.
