TO POPS

I remember a distinguished,
salt & pepper hair man, who was
cool
calm
and collected

His heart, big as the third rock.
With him he brings
value
ethics
and wisdom


I remember he was my
friend
confidant
and mentor

I have memories of him coming
home exhausted & reeking of work
inadditiion still had time to converse

Me
his son
his friend
his protege, will always remember
and cherish the fond memories until
we meet again.
