    The Fishing Pole

            F ishing pole is part of this man’s sole.

            I f asked, “It just makes me feel free”.

           S unlight wraps around my shoulders.

           H orizon’s waves splash a rhythm.

           E xcitement, joy, he baits his line.

           R umours of the one that got away.

           M emories trolling hours on the boat.

           E verything is at peace and in place.

          N ever mind, this man’s sole is found in his fishing pole                               

The family wishes to extend a special “thank you” to the staff at Sakura House, Woodstock for their care, kindness and compassion.
