He's A Good Man

He's A Good Man

© by Bud Lemire on Jan 3, 2009

He finds knowledge from books to enrich his mind

And finishes jigsaw puzzles with each piece he will find

He absorbs information as much as he can

I consider him wise, and a very good man

He collects stamps, for that is his hobby

Most often you'll find him in the computer lobby

He'll be searching for information on the Net

Taking notes to remember is a sure bet

He was a Barber, and use to cut hair

He shared his stories, of what he did there

Now he works in a Book Store, a good place to be

Especially for him, there's so much knowledge to see

His knowledge is shared with those who are near

You'll hear him explaining something, it'll reach your ear

He's happy to share part of what's inside of his brain

I think of how much a mind has before it goes insane

As a friend, I can say he's a good man to know

Has a wonderful outlook, and has a good soul

Stop by to say hello, if you see him around

He's a good man, wherever he's found

This is for John Illig, who's friendship and

knowledge is always greatly appreciated.
