Stand By Your Man

I Hereby Salute! Those were the days........ Uncle loomed in many ways............ More joy at home .......... With the cards well played........... Life has become lonely......... Yet he takes it very cooly............. Sits tall in his chair............ Undying spirit is his flair......... In a house emptily........ Adulated by kin many............. Some shy to express............. His impartial heart not digress.............. Fathered hand......... When shelter was anon.............. His door they knocked............ Their life was so blank....... Knowing he was in there.............. Footholds found everywhere.......... Revered by those .......... Whose hearts silently rose........ To a Man of integrity........ I hereby salute! September 12, 2015 Contest: Stand By Your Man Sponsor: Silent One
