ODE TO BOBBY ROSE

You entered our lives under non-conventional circumstances,

But the impact you’ve had will be with us to eternity. 

When we met you, you had only one leg which caused you much pain…

You knew that without it you had far more to gain! 

You smiled when you wanted to cry, kept pushing through when it got rough…

Never took “No” for an answer and proved you were tough!! 

Jennifer pampered you with little arm weights and warm showers,

While Korey kicked your butt and made you work for hours. 

We admire your drive, your attitude and strength…

The courage it took for you to take those first steps!! 

We love you like family, a frequent flyer you’ve been,

 A glutton for punishment – until we see you again!!

~~

Thank you, Mr. Rose, for your continuous dedication to your health!
