Powder Trickler's Tribute Poem for Leon

2009-08-20T08:53:00.002-06:00

Don’t Weep For Me

I’ve done things that most could see
Hunted ducks and pheasants on the flee

Had a beautiful wife to hold my hand
Farmed and played throughout the land

Had kids to teach and knots to tie
There wasn’t one who asked why

I’ve farmed this land, I’ve made my stand
From kids to raise to the Lord to praise

I’ve scouted far and wide
But family was always my pride

Farming and planting was were I thought I would make my stand
But Family and love was were I could lend a hand

Started fires with only a stick
But the people I taught was were I ticked

The family I’ve had that was my tale
Like a boat and wind, they were my sail

I’ve caught trout on only a fly
Caught fish were others couldn’t, I guess that was sly

The mountain men they were my hero
For without them America would be a zero

They went in the wilds with everything to fear
And out they came with knowledge and no one was their peer
They fought the Indians and mountains high
Without grumbling and without a sigh

I’ve raised my family tall and straight
Oh yes there is a Meline trait

From Eva on down there is pride
For this family has made a long stride

So don’t weep for me I am long gone
When you look up on the mountains and lakes, that’s were I’ve gone

I’ve seen black and white and very little gray
For in the Lord and his book I do not sway

I’ve lived my life wild and free
So please don’t weep for me

I’ve held the hand of the one I love
Raised my kids with the Lord above

Had my time on this here land
Made my presence and my stand

To my grandkids I will say

Live your religion, talk to God above
Support your family with his faith and love

It will never matter what you own
If you are in good company when you are all alone

Written for Leon Meline 8/13/09

OK we finished the lanterns, and Larry, Rick & Craig met Thur. night after work and made these Throwing Knives. They took a little longer than any of us thought it would (4 1/2 hrs) but it was worth it. I think they turned out great!! I think we have better prizes this year than we have ever had, and we made alot of them.

Rick made these Bags, 1 for the Smooth Bore trail walk & 1 for the X5 Target. And 1 for Rick to use. They turned out real nice.

The club will provide the turkeys. We will also have a ham provided as well as potatoes, gravy, dressing, cranberry sauce and drinks.please feel free to bring whatever dish(es) you would like to!....
I believe we have about 14 kids ( anyone under 13 ) in our club, we have sent an invitation to Santa and hope to see him! Because there are so many children, we decided it would be fun for them to have their own gift exchange. So, if your child wants to participate, please bring a wrapped gift of ~$10.00 in value- we have10 boys and 4 girls, so a unisex type of gift might be most appropriate. If this is a difficulty for anyone, please call me(673-6688).
