Oh, To Be Gardner McKay

--------------------

Oh, to look like him
Oh, to sail like him
Oh, to write like him
Oh, to fish like him
Oh, to paint like him
Oh, to sculpt like him
Oh, to act like him
— Oh, to be like him

Adam Troy

He chartered the Tiki
straight into my dreams
And captained my sleep
on far away seas

His heart never waivered
his nose in the wind
To young boys who loved him
— a hero and friend
