My father, Robert Franklin Spitzer, before children.

Gifts

6/20/10

We are all recipients

of our ancestral benefactors

who shared similar struggles

from birth to death

on great archetypal stage,

living hand to mouth

with determination for survival,

hopes toward better life

when thinking about community,

family, selves, in future

believing progress a birthright

like growth Nature models

while creating a bounty

for animals and humans

to share, prosper from,

emulated by breadwinner fathers

wanting higher life standards,

 sacrificing themselves for children

passing significant gifts forward.
