A hundred years he graced this stage,
As husband, father, actor, sage,
A man of knowledge ~ A man so wise,
Humanity has lost with his demise,
He gave to all at the least a smile,
For others he flew thousands of miles,
Fear of death, if ever a thought,
Was overcome for those who fought,
From World War 2 to Desert Storm,
Entertaining soldiers was the norm,
He made them laugh and forget,
If only for a little bit,
Others traveled to wars with him,
Bringing light where life was dim,
During the holidays he and his group,
Always shared Christmas with the troops,
A man of Honor ~ A man of Pride,
Proud of his country & stood by Her side,
A “Goodwill Ambassador” to the U. S. of A.,
He supported Her proudly ~ To his dying day,
He gave to others what he could,
His values simple and understood,
Live life, be kind and learn to laugh,
He lived his life with this epithet,
He played at living and loved to play,
He marveled at life everyday,
He touched more than family and friends,
Heads of State beckoned him,
Loved by many ~ Respected by all,
He has made his final curtain call,
“Thanks for the Memories” his chosen tune,
And a hundred years rolled by to soon,
With laughter and love God sent us hope,
“Thanks for the blessings and Mr. Bob Hope.”
May 29, 1903 - July 29, 2003
