Your mark in life
A dear political foe to some to others a work  to row.
Gone from the fray into the hay he will find his peace along the way.
What he did will erode to some other's will; see his place compile.
Took the rust belt by the scruff without a bluff.
Made the world a safer morgue.
His time well spent in the shake,
His service to replace ; great thoughts found stake.
Now peace and comfort to him and his a job so tuff.
Done with resolve and virtue strange. 
Effective to those to come in future range.
Thanks Donald J you did your work now see your rest.
