Dear Robert You lived and celebrated sixty-five years With your rhyming witty poems… I enjoyed most, when I have time, I will read more To rhyme with you your delicate prose- Sweat can't leave soreness to cry and wail. You’re a poet like a saint Expected to live twenty more years And you did with happiness Wearing the kilts. Wish me the same To wear my ancestries Dancing Dress. Sometimes I wear… People think I’m Austrian or Swiss; May be my ancestors arrived from that place To Anatolia to be massacred Then driven by betrayers to live in deserts bare To birth me there! Now through the net poet-hunters I enjoy Reading your site Can you wish me to reach my Dreams? To join you one-day your nested paradise! Yours Sincerely Sylva-MD-poetry Written Instantly

Another wonderful poem about life by Robert Service. Set ia an eight line ABABABAB rhyming sequence this poems celebrates the joy of senority age upon reaching 65. Service would experience an additional 19 years before permantly retiring from his art.
