Lenny Rodgers

In loving memory of Lenny Rodgers who passed away four years ago today.

He lived with his wife in a house that sat on a country road

Where their kids and grandkids would love to go.

When you open the door to his place

There he sat in his recliner chair with that smirk on his face.

Did you bring me the paper he would say?

I’ll pay you back some other day.

He would ask if you wanted something to eat

If the answer was yes, better have a seat.

Soup is what he had made with the leftovers from Sunday.

Dad knew a lot about different things

But tinkering with lawn mowers was his thing.

He even made a swing set by hand for the grandkids to play

He loved when they would come and stay.

Hunting was a hobby he had

It even took his life which was very sad.
