"A Gift to My Husband" by Penny McDowell on behalf of Janelle McDowell, 1989A quiet man to us God sent
Not ours to keep, but only lent.
He loved the sport, he loved the earth
He loved us all and gave us worth.
She loved the man, she loved his life,
Hand in hand she became his wife.
He was her love, he was her friend,
She loves him now even more than then.
In mountains grand he was at home;
The woods and glades he loved to roam.
His favorite bird is blue and free
He loved to hear them sing from the trees.
His first has strength just as he had;
The next his joy; she's always glad.
His first born-son is calm and warm
The last is one in his own form.
A quiet man to us God sent
Not ours to keep, but only lent.
He loved the sport, he loved the earth,
He loved us all and gave us worth.
