End of an Era, Tribute to Roy Lee Baker

End of An Era, Tribute to Roy Lee Baker

It’s not quite the same

This farm toy game.

I look for you in the crowd,

Checking, to see you looking and laughing out loud.

Your creativity is missed and your dedication

To the farm toy hobby, you added a certain elation.

You leave a legacy and toy show behind

You were always quick with a word I find

Myself at a loss here at the Gateway Mid-America show

Looking for you wherever I go.

Thankful I got the chance to interview you back when

You are with your beloved now again.

Time passes but thoughts of you remain

Because the farm toy game is just not quite the same.

(Thanks to the Baker family for keeping this amazing toy show going!)
