Robby,
I love the joyful recess photo,
You and your band of 1st Graders,
Football buddies smiling on a May day
At St. Mary of the Assumption.
Reminds me of an October day, 1957,
Behind St. William's in Euclid,
Our ragtag football team, me
The shortest boy of the 12
(But let me brag--the fastest!
The fiercest competitor).
I wonder where they are now,
How their lives went,
If they kept the spark, the joy
Of little boys in their hearts.
Keep that joy, Robby boy!
