My Friend
Lee

Lee was in
town to visit his Mother
He wasn't
alone, he brought his brother
Fred is a
lifelong friend, like a brother in every way
A stroke hit
him hard, but he's doing well today
Behind Fred's
gentle smile is a kind and gentle soul
Someone who
everyone would love to know
Log Rolling
buddies from years ago
Now traveling
together in a Lumberjack Show
I knew Lee
back in our school years, he's been a good friend
I have
memories of conversations we had back then
He now lives
in Florida and has a family there
You might
even see him if he comes to your Fair
One Sunday
afternoon we got together
He picked me
up, we had warm weather
A handshake
in greeting, it was 33 years ago
He said I
looked the same only older, which I know
He told me he
saw I had a glow all around me
And all of
our friends would be drawn to what they see
He said what
I do for everyone is quite a lot
Sharing area
photos of beauty is what I brought
Lee wrote a
song, and it was played on the radio while he was here
He played it
for me, it was the “Whiskey Blues” that ran through my ear
We parted
with a handshake, but it meant a lot to me
To have had a
good visit with my friend and Classmate Lee
Thanks Lee
(LeCaptain), for taking the time to get together with me
and
catching up on the thirty three years that life had taken us.
It was
great to hear your input on life, and just to laugh and enjoy the
visit.
