 A GREAT MAN

* * * In Memory of a Great Man ~ Papa Tony ~ 1916-2006 * * *

~ Mario Lanza sings Ave Maria~



A great man does not express in command,
for with his wisdom, he's in no need of demand,
shares life's principles in his own special way,
believing God grants His guidance every day.

His kin, friends, or even a stranger, he'll embrace,
respecting all humanity, no matter what the race,
for a great man does not welcome brutality,
tis not his compassion of dealing with reality.

An admirable man lives a long, fulfilling life,
for he accepts each day without any strife,
his walk glows with agility and self-esteem,
for peace of mind, he shall forever redeem..

~Wind Beneath My Wings ~ Dedicated to Papa Tony & his beloved wife Rose~



God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things that I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
