The Highlander

The Highlander From the sierras of Peru to the land of promise he came as a student of life to learn but not for fame but to absorb the thoughts of the American mind and giving of his own in kind He took me as a friend and always gave without regard Even when his times were hard although he never showed it. His knowledge and warmth has left a burning light to brighten the path for all to see the breadth of his sincerity What do children, parents ,best friend mean to you Contest Sponsored by Jeff Cantor May 19, 2018
