quiet sometimes, almost always gentle
wise would be an all encompassing word
to describe his entirety
half century enfolds him
and I know the best is still in front
but from the 48.5 I've witnessed
prayers lots more witnessing to come
for though our lives have shifted
in every season that we've seen
one thing still remaining
starts with l.o. ends in v.e.
Kurt
your presence, despite distance,
is still one of my life's best gifts
wishing you
your happiest
birthday yet
