At ninety years, Maurice stands tall, Born where Albany’s whispers fall, From Hudson's banks to Philly’s song, An engineer where dreams belong. In army's trudge and life's embrace, A noble heart sets steady pace, With Renee, his dear, through time’s long dance, In love’s bright gaze, they took their chance. Three children rise, four grands entwine, Their laughter echoes, legacy fine. Adventure calls, he heeds the quest— In rivers wild, he finds his rest. Sail and raft ’neath azure skies, A life well-lived in daring guise, “Eat, drink, be merry”—joy insists, Copacetic bliss in life persists. Through time and tide, Maurice will steer, His legacy, forever clear.
