Tim Russert Poem by Del a.k.a. Abe Jones

HE’S GONE TO MEET THE PRESS

Sadly, we have lost another one
Those folks who changed our lives
He was the one, who we all knew
From, Sunday morning, news archives.

He was one of those special men
Who, all Dads should strive to be
And a Son, who loved his Dad
The most important, his Family.

He never forgot his hometown
And the Bills, number one fan
He’d have a beer with the boys
Just, one of them, a common Man.

He gone up to that Press Corps
To join all those passed before
He left a mark here on this Earth
That, will surely last forevermore.

I heard, “He walked with the Kings
But kept, the common touch.”
And we all are going to miss that
Yes, he will be missed, very much.
