The Greatest Man
The greatest man
You never knew
Was born many years ago
One of eight, the oldest son
His Mother loved him so.
The greatest man
You never knew
Was a brave and courageous guy
He grew up with little, owned even less
But his dream he never let die.
The greatest man
You never knew
Finally met his bride
And before long they started a family
That became the center of his pride.
The greatest man
You never knew
Taught his children all about love
A close knit family is what they were
Thanks to God above.
The greatest man,
You never knew,
Was gone long before your time,
But his warm ways and gentle smile
On your face I seem to find.
The greatest man
You never knew
His memory still makes me sad
For you see my son
That man was my dad.

To have such a great family is something I could never imagine.
I Liked the way you ended, and wrote the poem, at first you'd expect it to be the son saying the story, when really the father of the son is telling the story and - i'm confused, i'm just really impressed in the way its lain out and stuff, an its a really good poem which made me thing, i officially confused myself
peace
Alec Fernandez
Ps. Great poem |

Jeff, this is beautiful! I couldn't have done it better myself. Just one thing: fix 2 spelling errors (L14 - "started" not "stated", and L19 - "knit" not "net"). These are the only distractions to a wonderful piece. Good work!
