Eighty years, a life unfurled, Our wisdom beacon in this world. Collector of cans, earning small, Yet teaching us the worth of all. The number one fan with a steadfast grin, Cheering our victories, both thick and thin. In pools, a gentle giant's stride, Offering piggyback joyrides. In backyard fields, where laughter reigns, A humble coach, breaking no chains. Planning adventures with careful grace, Guiding us through each wondrous place. Supportive, humorous, positive light, Bonds of family burning bright. Eighty years of joy and cheer, Our full-time guide, forever near.
