When the pool was named for my father <br />He made the only speech I know of during his life <br />'Nothing like naming a pool for a guy who can't swim a stroke, ' <br />and he sat down. <br />When he died they almost renamed the place for him <br />Presageing the lessons in love and death and remembrance <br />That would come to me as a pastor two decades later.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-pool-named-for-pop/
