FOR EVAN
 
 We are fly fishermen
Me and my son
We understand one another;
That life’s just begun
We know peace on the water
We have trust and we share
The hunt for the giant
In his watery lair
  
 We are body and soul
Created as one
In the pouring cold rain
In the bright burning sun
We think one and the same
About things that are vast
Of a future before us
Of things that are past
  
We both share a vision
Of life filled with joy
We strive for, we try for
This man and this boy
To achieve and to reach
That Utopian peace
For strife and life’s turmoil
Forever to cease
