A Poem Dedicated to Cliff Lewis

 

Dedicated to Cliff Lewis, General Manager, CMM  
Bayport Marina Association, Incorporated

How lucky we were some seven years ago,
To land Cliff Lewis and not even know!

Your time at Bayport has most certainly made,
A legend of you…that soon will not fade.

The legacy you leave for all to enjoy,
Is a brand new marina, hip, hip, AHOY!

There’s no one who cared or could have done more,
To come up with a plan…then take off and soar.

With precision and skill, through five winters of cold,
The project is finished and now we have gold.

Through Commodores and Boards you’ve had to endure,
It could not have been easy, this is for sure!

We’ve watched you grow and watched you thrive,
And quite frankly we wonder how you survived!

Through monthly reports and annual meetings,
You always showed up with a smile and warm greetings.

The members you know will miss you so dearly,
Promise you’ll visit much more than just yearly!

We thank you so much for all you have done,
Now it is your turn to go have some fun.

We wish you the best as you prep to retire,
And hope that you know how much you’re admired.

It’s hard to believe your reign here has ended,
BUT, YOU’LL ALWAYS HAVE US, THE FOLKS YOU HAVE FRIENDED!
