[ Dear Teri ]
[ I Am So Sorry For Your Loss, Today ]
[ I Wish That I Could Be, Some Kind Of Help ]
[ For You, In Any Way ]
[ I Am Glad That I Had The Conversations With Steve, That I Did ]
[ I Remember Going Into His Office With Him ]
[ When He Was Explaining Everything In There ]
[ It Made Me Feel Like A Kid ]
[ Everything In There, Had A Reason To Be In There ]
[ You Could See That They Were Handled With Care ]
[ Steve’s Wealth Of Knowledge, Cannot Be Explained By Just Using Words ]
[ The Ways That He Explained Each Item ]
[ He Would Talk So Fast I Could Not Keep Up With Every Adjective, Noun Or Adverb ]
[ But He Was Patient With Me, If I Asked Him The Same Question Again ]
[ He Would Ask Me Where He Lost Me ]
[ Then That Would Be Where He Would Begin ]
[ Being The Giant Man, That He Was ]
[ I Never Heard Him Say Something ]
[ Just Because ]
[ His Words Always Had A Reason To Be Heard ]
[ Sometimes He Would Be Quiet ]
[ & Just Observe ]
[ His Mind ]
[ Was Always The Busy Kind ]
[ It Could Take Him Awhile,To Unwind
[ Steve Was A Bit Of A Perfectionist ]
[ Everything That He Said Was Straight Forward ]
[ He Never Beat Around The Bush, Or Ended His Conversations With A Twist
[ He Always Gave People His Best ]
[ Knowing That When The Problem Had Been Resolved ]
[ That Is When He Could Rest ]
[ When Steve Would Come Into A Room, He Always Had An Air Of Authority To Him ]
[ He Never Did It For Show ]
[ Chances Of Him Asking Or Demanding To Get Respect, Were Razor Slim ]
[ Steve Was Probably Type (A) Personality Decades Ago ]
[ He Then Slid Into The Role Of The ALPHA Dog Position ]
[ In A Room Full Of Other Alpha Dogs Wondering Who THE TOP Alpha Dog Was? ]
[ When Steve Comes In, Everyone Will Know ]
[ Steve Will Be Missed ]
[ By Too Many To List ]
[ Would Steve Have Wanted Me To Write Any Of This? ]
[ Probably Not ]
[ He Never Tried To Seek Out The Bright Dot ]

[ Life Is Mostly (1) Constant Conundrum ]
[ & It Is Each Persons Responsibility To Not Stand Still &
Go Numb ]
[ Should Someone Live To Give? ]
[ Or Should You Give While You Live? ]
[ When You Are Able To See Someone That You Feel Is Truly
In Need ]
[ It Feels So Good To Do A Good Deed ]
[ This (1) Night, While Downtown, A Guy Came Up To You From The
Back ]
[ For Some Reason It Did Not Bother You ]
[ You Never Felt That You Were Being Attacked ]
[ He Acted Embarrassed & Ashamed To Ask For Some Change ]
[ You Gave Him A Couple Of Dollars ]
[ But Something Bothered You About That Exchange ]
[ You Felt In Your Pocket & Remembered That You Were Actually
Pretty Flushed ]
[ So You Looked & Walked Around The Area, In A Rush ]
[ Then You Saw Him Further Down The Sidewalk, To Your Right ]
[ You Wanted His Attention ]
[ But You Really Did Not Want To Startle Him To Where He
Would Feel That He Had To Fight ]
[ You Calmly Got His Attention, So He Stopped Walking & He
Turned Around ]
[ You Asked Him If He Remembered You, As He Continued To Look
@ The Ground ]
[ He Was Shaking When He Asked If You Wanted The Money
Returned Now? ]
[ You Said (NO) As You Handed Him (2) More Bills ]
[ He Quietly Said (WOW) ]
[ You Understood Why ]
[ He Did Not Want To Get Mugged By Another Guy ]
[ He Finally Looked Up & We Locked Eyes ]
[ What You Saw On His Face Was Pure Gratitude ]
[ Then His Face Had To Turn Back Into His Street Attitude ]
[ As You Walked Away, It Felt Like You Were Given A Gift ]
[ & A Much Needed Lift ]
[ @ The Same Time ]
[ Thank You To The Man That Was The Central Reason For This
Rhyme ]
