I
cannot tell you about my boy Ben
without bragging again and again.
without bragging again and again.
I
cannot tell you he is without flaw,
Nor
would he --- he is so humble and all.
He
smiles --- he laughs at every kind of joke.
Elephants,
Hookkah bars, cigars up in smoke.
As
I recall, he wore a tie under his hood and gown.
The
U was lucky he decided to stay around.
In
a hurry to excel and to succeed;
On
a casual walk he stops to see graffiti.
I
said “You will be tested.” --- Your life will have surprises.
Yet he shows support for all around him --- He always rises
Crunching
numbers in valuation math,
With
a sensibility closer to a visual artist’s path.
What
a silent leader looks like and can be;
I
love what he does and anyone can see;
The
sense, the humor, the love, the design
Simple
pleasure and economy of line.
The
years go by --- a priceless legacy;
My
boy Ben. Look, a Selfie --- You and me.
Happy Birthday
