My dear friend Bob

Parading in the wind while wild dolphins emerge from the sea

Yes 

Here is paradise 

As the scuba gear is fitted slowly

Yes

Here is paradise

As the silent day

Becomes part of everything that is

And everything that whispers love

Cameras in hand

And a dedication to appreciate

A dedication to learn

A dedication to teach

And a dedication to conserve

Because yes

This is paradise

This is God

This is the temple of nature

And its resilience shines

It takes and takes of what we give it

And it does the best it can

It always does

So with a camera in hand

Journeying in the midst of ocean and fish

Feeling the freedom

Feeling the bliss

Feeling the mission

And and overwhelming appreciation

To life's majestic forces

For

Yes 

This is paradise

This is indeed paradise

This is indeed a sacred land

And yes

It is worth it to keep its beauty alive

As best as we can

And the more we engage in conservatory awareness

The more our hearts feel the calm inside

Blessings to all those who have walked our path

And decided to donate their money and time and love and passion

To causes that are outside themselves

Many have donated their hearts and their everything

To be an instrument of love and kindness

And honestly

This man I met

Lived a life of principles and morality

Bob Wallace

I have a picture of you hugging a tiger and I see it often

You lived this life doing what you loved

And it showed 

And it showed

And you glowed

And you glowed

And you taught

And you inspired

To conserve and to respect

All of Nature's wildlife

You inspired

And your legacy shall continue

With love.
