He came into my world somewhat unwelcomed
Like many blessings he came in disguise
Wearing camouflage pants and a motorcycle vest
How could I know that he had a heart of gold?
It took some time before I saw him
One day I looked and he was in my corner
Even after we fell out big
There he was standing in support
As the years rolled by, I could see him much more clearly
This man who came and loved my mother
He also loved my sister, and loved me
and became a grandfather to our children
Everywhere he went they seemed to love him
People who saw beyond the camouflage pants
They saw a child, a father, a brother, a friend,
and a man who possessed a golden heart
In loving memory of Charles Toodle

This is beautiful, and poetic, in more ways than one for me. Thanks teacher, so much, I really needed to hear this, and I am only able to see your text until I can get more technical help. I run on your words and memory of them for now.
