To the family of SA Smith

Looking back on our salad days...
Those school days during the late 1940s
And again mid 1950s, a time spoken of here.
On and around the yards, we knew
Sam/Samuel by no other name than "SA",
This moniker he judged befitting himself.
We gave it little thought, if any, of course;
And to minds as youthful as our own
The matter was too mere to matter.
Anyway, the name was short, familiar, unique.

SA was a peer-popular kind of guy...
And assuredly such character-conduct
Had survived him over his many years--
Do raise a true hand, if you can attest.

We are glad, even so, to have had glimpses
Of such days unfold along our early life paths--
Though short the spans.
Surely SA rests and walks
Peacefully now in that light-realm
And love of his Heavenly Father.

Family, cherish SA's memory...
Tell his stories,
Feel his Presence.


Be ever blessed,
Harold (Bert) and Glory (Daniel) Scott
