You have seen yourself as calloused
but you are a tender, caring soul
a man of war, wounded, hardened
by childhood neglect, mature violence
Yet a man of gentle peace and romance
poet of verses that deeply touch hearts
and cause tears to flow down cheeks
man of wit, intelligence and principle
You have become an oak of strength
for the many who've leaned on you
you are a true gentleman, a real friend
one the cynical, like me, can trust
Eighty five years, more sorrow than joy
eighty five years of searching diligently
for existential meaning of life and death
years never wasted or spent in vain
For you have touched and changed
more lives than you can ever imagine
simply by being a wise, beautiful man
happy bday Dear Colonel… you are loved
Belle, this is beautiful my friend -- and who deserves such a magnificent birthday tribute more than our friend, Georg -- may peace and love abound in your world -- Jon Michael
My very best wishes to you Georg, and to La Belle for spilling the beans. 85? I'd call you an old goat but that would require about six generations. Patrick
And another birthday it is, but it will be the 9th of March and I hope to make! (LOL)
Mucho honored by the sweet Southern Belle to remember her Colonel, and I will be raising my cognac glass to thank all the best wishers hoping that the smoke of my forbidden Cohiba cigar doesn't bother them too much.
To all the girls, kisses, to all the guys...just thanks, no kisses here (LOL)
I loved this La Belle, I think of Georg as not only a comrade in arms even if our battlefield is only the blank page, but as a brother and friend. I hope your day is filled with happiness and joy my friend and your birthday wish comes true...
Happy Birthday Georg

Eighty-five....????!!! EIGHTY-FIVE???????????!!!!!! Noooooooooo.... I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!! But what I CAN believe are your wonderful words of truth and insight as far as dear Georg's person and character are concerned. And more. His poetic mastery is a delight and the wealth and depth of his always-impressive knowledge and discernment leaves me often in complete awe. Add to that his amazing humour and highly intelligent wit in I don't know how many languages, he's a man of incredible intellectual grasp, capacity and experience. AND, as you say, he is one of the most compassionate and gracious human beings it has been my pleasure to come across in cyber space. A colonel and a column, a pillar of the cathedral that is our AD hallowed space. Georg, you ARE loved, admired and respected more than you'll ever know. But here we are, trying to tell you anyways! :)) A very, VERY Happy Birthday to you... tis my baby girl's tomorrow, as well. Belle, you're a Sweetheart: this is to treasure. xxx Miss you, too!!!!!!!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxx
