Our Ralphie

Ralph was born in Carrizo Springs,Texas, on a hot summer day,
But moved and raised in Crystal City.
I know him well enough now that he must have been a kind, & gentle soul even back then.
Never knew his Dad but certainly his dear Mom raised him right,
But he did not know then that he was destined to someday shine bright.

Ralph’s story starts with meeting Katherine through some friends in San Antonio,
A single Mom with five little kids,
I’m sure that he then saw his purpose in life, I must convey,
To love them unconditionally and become the father figure they needed,
The light shining bright to help them guide their way.

Now Ralphie together with Kat, his love,
Have made a great life
With the kids he’s helped raised,
Who are now almost all grown,
Surely their Ralphie has been their greatest, brightest gemstone.
