Bora born
Once were men _
The voice timbered deep, soft reassurance
to those privileged to pass this way
where kindness sublime ensures remembrance.
He came from the bush down broken hill way
where crows fly backward just for fun
a long life of being, quietly displayed.
In accord his wife tends their central suns
her inner charm he's learnt to grow
to complement one plus one equals one.
Gently sensed where true greatness kindly flows
acceptance poised on bended knee
resolved by the heart so few rarely know.
In lawrence you find what few seldom see
a real man refined among men
from life distilled from turbulent seas.
Humbled, wrent by gentle persuasion as
curved balls intrude on life's plans for
spirits release in the hearts of real men
when inner peace refines the man.
