The Cool of Mr. Lee
His name was Bruce Jun Fan Yuen Kam Lee
this quiet and unassuming man from China
born in the year of the dragon, destined for
for greatness but he had to fight to get off
the streets.
A champion boxer, Cha-Cha virtuoso, father,
husband,actor, movie star,teacher, director,
producer, instructor, student,philosopher,
mentor,musician,singer and legend.
So much energy, life and motion.
The creator of Jun Fan Gung Fu,
even Ali perhaps would call him the
greatest. Only second to his Sifu Yip Man.
Inventor of the one inch punch, that sent
many a brave man reeling. His parents called
him Bruce in Gaelic the strong one.
(I respectfully dedicate this poem to Bruce Lee’s family,Linda,Brandon and Shannon)
