AN ODE TO ALAN

     AN ODE TO ALAN AL MY PAL

Now you can garden in Heaven and write poetry

with the best of them.

Your stories we'll  retell--of family, poems, gardening,

Hawks, Cubs, and Military

So Al, my Pal, I'll remember your kindness and smiling  Irish eyes, too

And like our visits, I'll end with one more, "I love you!"
