Moderation is the success to survival - Manly Palmer Hall


He walked this earth in such a gentle manner,
made quite a few friends as he went along,
raised a small family with a mother
which I am proud to say that I belong.
He was quite known for his superior mind
and his façade, silent and quite austere.
I knew him different, funny and kind
and he is loved, as well as he is feared.
One day, all that changed almost suddenly.
His death, a moment I'll never forget
Memories of him I kept have changed me
and those thoughts will stay and shall never set.

Not for another, nor the bad nor sad,
you are always my one and only Dad.

This is for my late father who once graced my life with his ingeniousness for only about 10 years.
