The legend of Eddy

The legend of Eddy
By Mark Windsor

If you ever witnessed Eddy's whit and wonder where it's from?
It's from his family yeah that's it, especially from his Mom.
He stayed with his Mom all of her life,
even after making Ruth his wife.

Eddy spoke his mind when he told a tale.
and for that spent lots of time in Facebook jail!

This is the legend of Eddy he was the best
He lived a life of hope love and zest
Always played it pretty close to the vest
To get inside you had to pass the test.

A blessing came disguised when he woke up paralyzed...
He fought through his GBS walking miles every day
He and Ruth would often pray to rid the Guillain-Barre.
Walking off all the blisters, treating cousins like sisters

This is the legend of Eddy he was the best
He lived a life of hope love and zest
Always played it pretty close to the vest
To get inside you had to pass the test.

Both of them knowing Their times were hard going
Now Ruth did the mowing Her love for Ed showing

If you are keeping the stats
They never had spats
and kept infinite cats
and wore many hats.

Ed will be missed by all, a lot,
Friends Cousins Tracy and Scott
Our trips to Canyon City, in summers so hot,
But we all came for Eddy, and that's what we got.

This is the legend of Eddy he was the best
He lived a life of hope love and zest
Always played it pretty close to the vest
To get inside you had to pass the test.
