JOHN POET

WITH SKILL HE WEAVES EACH GOLDEN WORD
UNFOLDING YARNS AND TALES
PAPER AND INK BECOME A LOOM
FOR MY POET FRIEND FROM WALES

HIS EPICS KEEP ME LAUGHING LOUD
OF MISSING SOCKS AND BEER
HIS TRIBUTES OF HIS LOVE FOR ANNE
MOST OFTEN BRING A TEAR

A MORE LOYAL FRIEND TO MAN OR DOG
I THINK YOU'D NEVER FIND
TO SHARE A LAUGH OR ASK A PRAYER
HE NEVER IS UNKIND

HE IS GOD'S AND GOD IS HIS
FROM THE START OF EACH NEW DAWN
OH LIFE IS SWEETER JUST TO KNOW
OUR POET FRIEND NAMED JOHN!!

God Bless my good friend John,
now and always,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Feb 2, 2003
