Partners Walk and talk and work with me Toward our distant goal. Can we reach it? I think so. Visions clear, minds are sharp, What you lack - I will supply, What I miss - you bring along. When you tire I will carry. Join the laughter of my soul. Let me feel the handshake Of your heart, then, when we arrive We ll have succeeded twice. Richard Kramer

Kindred Spirits Yesterday, we felt the cool spring sands between our toes, Today we watch the billowing summer clouds as the wind blows, Tomorrow we'll hear the leaves fall before it snows Boris Kramer

Mentor When no one noticed You saw me struggling You could have passed but did not Your thinking and your smiles Convinced me to excel. Your steadfast faith in me Compelled me to succeed. And if by chance I did not You would still be there for me. It is good to have Someone like you. Richard Kramer

Achiever The Crucible of life Destroys us utterly. But some are purified And rise above This common pool of pain By vision, faith and discipline To show the way for others. Let it be me to show Yet let me also humbly follow. Richard Kramer
