Remember Roy

A salute to very good man who took the time

Remember Roy

the old man

with his gray beard

and skin of tan

 

Remember Roy

my trapping friend

who taught me how

not to break but bend

 

Remember Roy

his twinkling eyes

his patient hands

we tied those flies

 

Remember Roy

my friendly mentor

his old blue truck

down the road would sputter

 

Roy is gone

I miss my friend

he was a good man

to the very end

 

Remember Roy
