Jesse

Jesse

A blackboard tells

 A partial story

His maps and precisions:

Order as on the Plain

those years ago..

There is more:

He shares his life with

enthusiasm and humor

fortune and tragedy

He and Audrey..

A flying career

A choice interrupts

to our great gain..

He often reflects:
A literary life

can mold us..

On those paths

Better persons find..

Today we celebrate:

His years have

Lengthened and a

Legacy looms...

Our gratitude, Jesse

On your Birthday...!
