A
Tribute
There
was a miles-long stretch of cars
In
procession on their way to the cemetery
To
bury him that day. He was a good man,
All
of his friends and family would say,
A
gentle and affable man, anyone in town
Will
openly claim. The church was filled to
Overflowing,
hundreds attended the service
That
day. Was it because his life was cut
Short?
Was it due to unforeseen misfortune
Which
lead him to this early grave? I suppose
Most
folks around here will tell you, that
It
was his warm, genial smile, and the way
He
made you feel special when he said, good
Day.
There was that something delightfully
Uncommon
about him...You know, at the risk
Of
sounding cliche, if you needed say, the shirt
Off
his back, he wouldn’t just turn and walk
Away.
There was a miles-long stretch of cars
In procession on the way to the cemetery to
Bury him that day.
