ODE TO DAN

We lived in the big house that was Gram's
His father Millard Grove Deming
Was back in Texas, then Oklahoma
The City Planner knew his work
but not life
Counseling did no good
Empathy and love devoid
Oh, he was a handsome man
that Mike, thatch of blond hair
blue eyes, legs long as a stork's
He only lived to 62, then punched out.

Fatherless Dan growed up to be
educated, we lived in Village Green
then moved to Gram's house 
in the wee hours of the morning
Grandpa Harold drove us to
Abington Memorial Hospital

I left a fuzzy green turtle for his
big sister Sarah, all of 2 yrs old

I'd taken LaMaze classes
a rehearsal for pain that came
out of my ears
watched in the mirror
as a tiny boy slid down the chute

YEEOW  YEEOW

"There's not a Jewish bone in his body,"
said Grandpa over the phone.

My Daniel grew up to be a fine man
A husband, A Father, A Friend
A worker of the world
And as far as I'm concerned
A son his father and I are proud
to call our own.
