Master of All

He has the soul of creative
enterprise, his capable artistry
in countless spheres a complement
to his restive mind seeking
stimulation and adventures of the
spirit. From our childhood forward
he foraged among a wealth of
opportunities continually setting
ajar doors of the mastery of
techniques closed to less curious
and audacious minds. His love
of literacy and art, nature and
the crafting of unique and
personalized treasures delight his
demanding eye. He will indulge
in the brute force it takes to build
a structure, in the soft grace it 
takes to imagine an exquisite
design, in the precise knowledge
it takes to address an elderly
mechanical system. His eye is
never oblivious to a quandary it
espies requiring a careful hand to
lift and remove a minuscule creature
from harm's way, or to aid a neighbour
younger yet frail, not as robust as he.
Generous beyond a fault, I bask
in the company he provides, take
pleasure in the arcane skills that
drive him, share the adventures
that call him, through our covenant
sanctioned by time and with love.
