Elmer
		When the greatest fire ravaged the earth He went with the others from the land of his birth They took on the job and put the fire out That is what good men are all about After that he drove a truck And that is where he found his luck He made good friends along the way Always with some kind words to say He also told a good story or two And had way more jokes than me or you He knew that we’re here to make others feel better And he could even do that with just a letter One of the greatest men ever known He knew that seeds should be sown Seeds of hope and laughter and love And he knew that spirits dwell above The seeds he planted were a help to others And he knew us all as sisters and brothers Or sons or daughters or as friends Everyone he knew was kin to him Now he is gone and missed very sadly Leaving behind a wonderful family But that family knows the love still grows From the seeds that were planted long ago And to this day still from the words he wrote This man was definitely no ordinary bloke From his beloved long life memories we will take And love the man Elmer Henry Ake ~~~   Copyright © 2007 Steve Coates   ~~~
