True Story

True Story (My Birth Bio)

He's From The "Southern Part Of Gloucester"

Born Pre-Hurricane...

Tipping The Scales At Eleven Pounds-Nine

Thru Wind, And Flood, And Rain

Talking About That Epic Day

In The Autumn Of "54"

October 1, To Be Exact

On The "Hill", In A House, At "Hayes Store"

Now, Some Say The Wind Stopped Blowing

For A Minute... Maybe Two

The Scoffers Said, It Was A Myth

But Those Who Were There said, "True"

After The Birth

It Blew So Fierce And Rained So Hard

There Were "Flying Outhouses"

And Turned Over Cars

This Little-Big Baby, Born In "Storm Hazel"

Grew In Statue And Grace

With Many Good Years, Most Better Than Bad

But Some He Wish Were Erased

But Through It All, The Lad persevered

The "Lord" Being By His Side

He Kept Him Through, Those Days That Were Blue

Even That Time He "Died"

So "Thankful" Is The Man

Whose Heart Now Sings This Song

I'm So Blessed To Love-Laugh-Live

And Offer This "Grateful Poem"
