Poem -
You left
I'm lost - you left me -
why did you pass me by
I need your leadership
your love - your sense that
yes, it's worth a try
Like a tree - standing taller
you lift my sense of being
why did you go
I need you so
you are my fallen beam
A captain for a few years
but a soldier many more
and devoted to a family
at times seen as a chore
Yet your children become leaders
your wife of three score and ten - the sky
go - she is a-waiting
as I shed tears you rise and fly

Vale George H W Bush

Hi sparrowsong,
Apologies for the tawdry reply. I wrote this poem a few moments after hearing about the passing of George H W Bush. I was watching from afar when Bill Clinton was saying; "It's the economy, stupid", and won his first presidential election. Understandable, indeed.
Most Australians probably couldn't tell you much about George H W Bush but that's only to be expected, I guess. We have enough troubles of our own to deal with right now.
Nonetheless, I do have a lot of time for the family as a whole - a true dynasty of a political nature no-one has been able to replicate before or since, (including the Kennedys).
Take care and all the best...
Owen.
