Grandpa Gordon

by Pierce Foss

 

Stronger than most half his age

Able to run farther than most 30 year olds

Still able to haul the most majestic,

yet weight filled diamond willow logs

Even through the most hardened brush

Having the ability to carve anything from

this beautiful wood with limited hand tools

A man well worth writing for

A man 86 and still moving

A man with few regrets,

Grandpa Gordon
