ED PARKER's
BIRTHDAY POEM
By: Dennis
Conatser 3-19-2000
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SGM ED PARKER
Tho you may not
still be with us,
We remember you just the
same.
We are all still studying
Kenpo,
And still bringing up your
name.
*
The Art that
you had left us,
Is growing day by day,
Although we all
have different views,
Your American Kenpo is here
to stay.
*
You'd be proud
of your only son,
An ambassador he is today,
He is training
and been enlightened,
And sharing what you used to
say.
*
We now have
more technology,
Such as Forums and live
chats,
Some discussions are real
doozies,
And some are down right
spats.
*
The world is
getting smaller,
Word travels super fast
today,
With web sites and email,
Questions and
answers have no delay.
*
You left us
many answers,
But you left some questions
too,
None the less we still forge
on,
We all seem to know just what
to do.
*
I know you
always had a plan,
With everything you've done,
There are lots
of creative thinkers,
Kenpo's Gaseous Expansion has
begun!
*
We all still
wish that you were here,
To enjoy the Your Kenpo
Fruits,
But let there be no mistake,
We shall all
remember our roots.
*
We also hope
you're smiling,
With all we have done to your
Art,
We hope to make it better,
Because we had
an Awesome start.
*
So Happy
Birthday,
We all sing,
You'd be 69
today,
You are still very much in
all our hearts,
And there you will always
stay.
*
Dedicated to preserving the
memory of the Original Founder and Senior Grandmaster of
American Kenpo: Edmund Kealoha Parker
