the oldest son
to a family new to Canada
who learned English at school
this second child of four
grew up close to the land
working hard on the farm
a young man in love
built a house of brick for them
and four little growing ones
a mature man traveling
by wheels and books
reading wider and farther than even his travels
a retired man
and caregiver until after a 50th anniversary
finding time to walk an hour at a time
