I wanted to post a picture here but am having a hard time finding one. 

Strong and stalwart. Man with vision.
Grandpa rises in my mind.
Stubborn. Striving. Labor-driven
Somehow reverent, somehow kind.

Family pillar Human. Flawed.
Napweed-killer. Nature-awed.

Angry. Tender. Mountain-seeker.
Fixer. Mender. Careful speaker.

Born to roam, to ride, to blaze
Long trails through trackless wilds
Born to fill his nights and days
With toil and travel, sweat and miles

Story-spinner, corn-cob lover
Teacher, horesman, hero, friend.
In songs, as one note helps another
We're helped to thrive by how you lived.
