Shadow of a man

mary f fredette 1957 (new hampshire)



 The shadow  of a man is not by what he has by  what he is.
   This man was kind, strong, soft loving and stubborn.
     He loved life. could see  people, who weren't true to themselves
      He was a man, who was set in his ways. but always wanted to do right
       There is a joke to this man, He would have three women in his life.
           His wife who he loved through the years. His computer who has all the answers. and the lottery that would sometimes give him money.  
             He fought until the end,  But a man who
I know could never be replaced but I am glad to have met him.
