The Maltese Legend Poem by Richard Wlodarski
The Maltese Legend
The Maltese Legend
To Malta you were a real soccer legend
To Canadian Maltese a hero to the end
To me you were more than an entertaining friend
You and Brian taught me to shoot pool
In your school of calm and super cool
You taught me how to hold em and fold em
Win em and lose em in Texas Hold Em
Karaoke guy singing Leo Sayer
Making When I Need You quite a slayer
Over a beer or two at Chris' bar
You the pool shark and karaoke star
Crossing Guard leading children to safety
In winter's bitter cold and misery
A hero to them, mothers and fathers
And to me and several others
Richard Wlodarski (c) 2026
Happy that you liked it, Belle. If it weren't for heroes, life might be a little dull.
Sorry for your loss Richard, I wish you the best, I am glad though your friend still lives on in these beautiful words.
