Hopper's History (by Daniel Wolfe)

When he was young, Edward Hopper hoped to be an artist.
His parents knew, their child was of the smartest.
Born to a middle class family in Nyack, New York,
he had only one sister, a sibling of sort.

Edward was as good as they came,
and would one day have, glory and fame.
He practiced as if there were no tomorrow,
and always did his work, with humor and sorrow.

His parents gave him the finest tools
and he attended, some of the finest schools.
As time went on, he was able to give
his amazing gift, to the world that lived.

He painted Portraits and landscapes alike,
he would paint anything, if it felt right.
Painting was Hopper's life,
and he loved it as much as he did his wife.

However, the day came in 1967
When Edward Hopper made is trip to heaven.
