A Man Of Few Words
There are people who serve and don't ask for applause
They are quiet and humble serving their country abroad
They don't ask for attention or money or cheer
There are some folks who serve unnoticed year after year
They make friends over the years and seldom forget
To visit the ones they love, honor and respect
They go about their way never looking for glory
Giving their all while leaving behind a great story
This is about a man who lived such a life
My Grandpa Bruce and his beloved wife
He was one who enjoyed listening with little to say
Yet his actions and love were like giants on display
There are people who live through difficult times
But somehow they manage to save up their dimes
They don’t ever complain or ask for more
Instead they serve their neighbors who live next door
Bruce Thurston was a man of few words
But what he did in his life will create eternal rewards
