Poppy's passing

Ralph Leland Brown,
nothing could slow you down.
Not a ten foot bear,
not even a wheelchair.
As you leave us I can't help but frown,
but then I remember how,
nothing could get you down.
You're an inspiration to us all,
and I know your better off now,
as I step back and take a bow.

I look around and see how only you,
could bring so many to share and reminisce,
their love for one person.
We all love you,
I hope you always knew,
how much we all truely cherish you.

In loving memory of a veteran, a brother, an uncle, a father, a grandfather, a great grandfather, and most of all our friend.
