TRUE TO HIS WORD
In Loving Memory of Calvin Vickers
April 7, 1928 – March 2, 2003
He
died as he lived, very proud, very strong
His unending love of
family, unconcerned with wrong
His paternal promises
kept, his clandestine plan
Our patience tested, by
this giant of a man
He predicted the greed,
in every detail
His instructions
followed, he covered the trail
His keen awareness, exact
to the day
Her lack of ethics, he
told us to play
He was true to his word,
to us his own
To keep us forever,
wealthy, healthy and strong
His vision of our future,
so sharp, so clear
Our lives have changed,
he dispelled the fear
He threw the dogs a bone,
to keep them away
His family secure,
peacefully resting he lay
He cried out her name,
with the end in sight
His thoughts of Colleen,
he was drawn into the light
His true love waiting, he
has taken her hand
Together in Heaven, never
a thought of Flag Pole Mountain again
