A legend too quick. A legend too late. A legend stands now; A legend stands before the Master's gate. A legend in my heart. A legend who had a bumpy start A legend who could not depart His ways, but... A legend who was my tart-tiest My legend from the beginning My legend for my evening. Our legend through thick and thin; A sweet legend. A legend of old The only legend I knew A legend for my life, So I thought Until his departure. His head in his hand, As he often would. Make plans for life; Where a Black man stood. Strict, mean loving and caring, Vague, bleak, giving and sharing. My legend is described as human. From the beginning to the end. Good-bye my sweet love, I shall see you again soon. Once again, our sweet love, When THE feet cross the moon. |

| Author's Comments... This was written especially for my dad. It describes him to the tee. Although he was a stern, harsh man, he was well loved and is still truly missed. Riding in the car and instead of breaking down with pain of his departure, I elaborated on the goodness of his life and what he stood for. I never bragged about anything in my life, but I will do so now and say that he was my “Legend.” I learned so much. I’m thankful I’m able to decipher the good from the bad and decorate on what he tried so hard to instill in me.
