"IN MEMORY OF STANLEY BIS" by John BisWHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who was so humble he'd blush when you'd pay him a compliment WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who was never afraid to be sensitive WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who could make you laugh "sometimes at yourself" and stop you from taking life too seriously WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who could assure you of the light at the end of the tunnel when you, yourself could not see it WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who could make an unsettled mind calm down and think straight WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who treated men and women as equals and people as individuals WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who lets you be you with no judgement(no matter what hair style you choose to express yourself with) WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who knew it didn't matter what color your skin is WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? That was a friend to all, the kind of friend that only gave without asking for anything in return WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who loves and respects all children and animals WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who loved Christmas more than one of Santa's Elves WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who was never too old to play with toys WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who won a Purple Heart Medal for serving his country in the Korean War and never bragged or seemed boastful about his actions WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who could teach the world how to make a perfect marriage by example alone WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who dreamed your dreams as if they were his own WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who not so much as by words but by his deeds never let his wife and kids forget that they were his dream come true WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who wanted to and did give his children a better life than he had WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN? Who hid his aches and pains so not to upset others WHAT DO YOU CALL SUCH A MAN? I have been very blessed to call him my Father I love you and miss you Dad
