He married his high school sweetheart
They were together sixty years
Then one day God said they must part
A loving couple's dreaded fears
With four Children and nine grandkids
And twenty three great-grandchildren
His love for them never forbids
Sweet memories remember when
For six years in US Navy
Two years was in Coast Guard Reserves
At Navapai, so much he'd see
He lived with such courageous nerves
He was a police officer
From San Diego, the PD
For thirty years, his duty tour
Now writes it in his poetry
Today Willie turns eighty six
Our hats off to an awesome guy
This man has seen many conflicts
A life lived to exemplify
Now Willie lives in Idaho
Has written many children's books
For those of you who want to know
At Amazon, worth a few looks
Willie, you are a special man
For all you've done, your service ranks
To honor you the best we can
A Happy Birthday, with much Thanks
