Where do we start, where do we stop <br />putting together divine words of sincerity <br />for a man of integrity, intelligent, witty, <br />admired by his peers, family and friends. <br /> <br />Our families came together on the <br />Sandfields Estate late fifties early sixties, <br />though from different backgrounds, <br />we bonded instantly in childhood <br />and were known as Rocky, Ti, Jolly, and Pixie. <br /> <br />The history of our childhood became a template <br />toward the development of our adulthood <br />and through our childhood bonding <br />it became apparent <br />who we are today. <br /> <br />There is no manual on the shelves, <br />to show how we should proceed <br />but we knew how to treat each other. <br />That is a rare commodity in how to <br />navigate friendship unconditionally. <br /> <br />Nov 2012<br /><br />alex sarich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/robert-rocky-bates/
