Ode to Shorty

by QC Poet

In 1956 a Man of Short Stature left his home town,
Not knowing when he'd next come back around,
Reasons he left at 28 were never truly known,
With just 50's pictures of his night schooling left to be shown.

He then learns a second language to better fit in,
And digs graves to help his new journey begin.
My Uncle John his work partner becomes his best friend.
He meets my Mom then it's her Heart he dreams to win!

This short Man had big dreams and the drive to succeed,
Begins buying the vehicle, tools, and things he'll need,
He moves into an older home with his family started with speed,
His successful business continued to grow for he lacked any Greed.

From Elder Uncles and Cousins to some things I can recall,
Old Shorty would take on giants and make'em friends or make'em fall!
A foe or a friend he'd become when drinking that awful Spirit Alcohol!
Life is Conquering issues, and he Prayed for Forgiveness of them all.

With his business growing he becomes a Fleet Mechanic in a Uniform sector,
While coming closer to the Lord of Lords and a participant Church Lector,
I'm one Son of his eight children he was our head Moral Director! 
A Real Life Giant of a Man who worked through Life's Struggles - He's Our Hero Victor!
