John
he’s turned
seventy

Charming
and sweet
he’s pretty neat
his smile
is easy
in coming
and fun to see
he is quite lovely
and quirky
he’s always been

earthy

manly
he does
he stands
he plants
he mows
what grows
he prunes
he projects
like only
Dad can-do
he’s a free spirit

happy

he’s modeled
to my brother
and me
what it truly
means to live
life
