The Gentle Warrior (For Bert Nelson)

[Jonathan Morey Weiss-Namaste47]

Oh Viking of valor and brave heart
you courageously commanded your ship.
You led by example and garnered respect
with your humility and decency.

May you sail to the shores of a new land
using love as your compass and
determination your sextant,
leaving behind a grateful crew
blessed by your presence, and
who will forever follow in your wake.

*For my father-in-law, Bert, who passed June 2nd of this year.
