My Father

Laura K Taylor 1966 (Iowa)

Acrostic
In Memory of My Father:

Just a quiet intelligent man.
Organized and meticulous.
Humorous in a dry, subtle way.
Not boisterous or loud.
Rather quiet and soft spoken.
Treasured by his family.
Adored by his beloved pets.
Youthful in spirit and at heart.
Lived a simple country life.
Outdoorsman and hunter.
Revered, loved, remembered.
