Into my life he came,
One of Nature’s gentlemen,
A man of kindness and humility.
We had many times together,
Mainly hitting croquet balls
But we spoke and we laughed,
Good times were had.
But then it happened,
The telephone rang
And I was told my friend had passed.
Such a sad time in my life,
But even sadder for his wife.
Now a new star was born
And looking into the night sky
It can be seen shining brightly
Looking down on us all
Bringing even more light,
Even more light to our lives.
