To Jack Horne
joy is your gift to the world consumed with worry
humor is the light that shines from your heart
friendship you bestow freely to all
your loyalty assures we will never part
upon the bridge of friendship we walk hand-in-hand
your kindness flows out like a river from your pen
to lend an ear and send some cheer from across the way
your time is limitless no matter what, where or when
distinguished by a zest for the supernatural
your creativity and skill know no bounds
how blessed we feel to be in your inner circle
you’re one of the greatest blessings we’ve found
we can’t wait to hear what you’ve been up to
for you are our brother when we talk of our day
and a treasure we’ve found in this heart of yours
when you tell us about it in your own special way
many miles away we can see your sweet smile
beaming across the water in a sunset sky
we can hear your laughter dance in the wind
echoing in the seagulls’ cries as they fly by
*Dedicated to Jack Horne
