“Manito”

By Sarah Perry

Straight forward; patient;

Quick to tell a joke or laugh;

Unconditional

Confidence in me;

Love of life and Las Vegas;

Ready for the road;

True strength; heart of gold…

The list goes on forever,

“Better believe it!”

Welding more than birds,

You were all these things to me

And will always be.
