Roses are Red,

Violets are Blue,

I’ll throw a rock in your garden if I like you.

My grandchildren, my daughter and wife,

These are the things I cherished most in life.

I loved to travel, I loved to build,

I loved a good poker game that was laughter filled.

I passed the time making art with my saws,

Or petting my friends who have four paws.

I was kind, and funny, and quick of wit,

Those who knew me best know I hated to sit.

March brought my birthday, and madness and fun,

When it came to puzzles and riddles, I was number one.

So, raise a glass and have a beer,

Give a toast to me if I ever brought you cheer.

Please don’t cry and don’t you dare bawl,

And let me say, “goodbye, I love you all”.
