"Tom, I am flattered! I appreciate your poetic tribute."

A Man Who Remembers
Dr. Robert Ballard likes to explore
he is always on the ocean floor.
From the deeps of the Atlantic
to the shallows of the Pacific.
Although he doesn't discover things fast
he has great respect for the past.
When he makes an important discovery
he pushes for no artifact recovery.
In school many things he adored
in the Navy he never made commodore.
He discovered the battleship Bismarck
and found the Titanic's last mark.
To explore a deep ocean ravine
people use his deep water submarine.
To find the resting place for the Titanic
people use his map of the Atlantic.
To many organizations he is a member
he pieced together the "Night to Remember."
Dr. Ballard is as kind as can be
to the world with his love for the sea. |
