Mr. McDonald

you’re an exuberant lion
a grey haired majesty
all hands and gesticulation
your quick wit and eyes
dance with fire ready to pounce.
the loud and happy voices ring
in your den, your home, your domain.
like the fire that burns nearby
your gentle frame and gracious spirit
are a becoming presence that says
welcome.
— Mr. McDonald – 12/27/09 – 27
