A poem about: Ode to Phil, 70 years old, survived prostate cancer, soon to be a grandfather, gifting you this Melanzana sweatshirt so you can continue to explore great places while fly fishing, flying your plane, sailing the wide open seas, keeping your warm when you come visit Baby Raymond in Colorado, and just hanging out with your special daughters Stacy and Kelly and of course their spouses Andrew and Alex.

Ode to Phil—hale and bold at seventy’s gate, Prostate scars a testament, you smile at fate. Soon a grandparent, holding future’s grace, Embracing life’s cycle in each warm embrace. This Melanzana, a gift, with love sewn tight, For fly fishing ventures from morning till night. A shield ‘gainst the chill of Colorado’s air, When visiting Baby Raymond, your moments to share. While you venture the sky, command the sea wide, This cloth keeps you warm with familial pride. With daughters Stacy and Kelly by your side, And Andrew and Alex, your joy amplified. Here’s to journeys unexplored and untouched shores, To laughter and legacy forever yours. In every thread, your stories and love remain, For times yet to come, and the dreams you sustain.
