Re: Form of the week: Encomium
*Dollar* 1,000 GPs were sent to Dave Author Icon with this post.
Dave, this challenge hit me right in the heart and caused me more than a few moments of tasting grief.

But that's good, since 2017 took a handful of loved ones from my life.
This poem has been a helpful release of some of that continuing grief.

I have a great number of mentors in my life, but none were greater than my Dad.
I hope you will enjoy this tribute to one of the dearest men in my life.

I have been very raw in this post, probably it is more raw and open than most of my posts.

I just wanted you to get to know my Dad,
and to realize that "the apple didn't fall very far from the tree."


"Encomium: "Dad"

Here is yet another signature, that has been provided for me by my good friends, WS & GG.
