TEXAS INTEGRITY


 Bill came to Texas as part of a career move.  He has consistently taken care of family, and lent a 
 a helping hand doing woodworking, repairs, cooking,  etc, for United Way, school projects,      friends, and various   charities.  A cowboy at heart, he fell in love with this Lone Star State and wishes he'd come sooner.


At ease in cowboy boots and Levis,
working  cattle or  crafting wood;
or donning a suit for the office
he's a humble man of vital good.

His beard once streaked has turned to gray
His jaw's set with a certain look
acknowledging his values are here to stay....
Traditional principles won't be shook.

Warm blue eyes  read a person's face;
and also appreciate blue Texas skies.
He's compassionate but firm in his ways
with a generosity he can’t disguise.

A purist, he won't alter standards,
and rates integrity number one.
He gives his all to every endeavor
But afterward, its family, friends, and fun.

I'm proud to know this upright man
He's one of  few like  no other
who give their time and talents as they can.
Yes, that's my younger Texas brother.
