Joker-like, impish grin
Then, poker face, steady again
Race the ace, down flat, for the win
Western film took sight
Finances were a fight
Tried to keep the family light
Honest and hardworking
Others’ opinions lurking
Finding some distraction to look at, smirking
Proud of his little girl Violet
Will she sing in a concert pilot?
Life had an original way to style it
Proud of Frank and Tony too
They paid every ounce of respect and every honorable due
All three kids brought a smile to their mothers demeanor, true
He struggled to take care
Leaning on too many substances, without fully being aware
He sure knew how to capture the moment by its horns, wild and rare
