I found this website amongst his possessions
Beneath a list of to dos, and confessions,
So I thought I would take it upon myself to present
A short story of a man, who for this world, at this time, was never meant.
He was born with an old vision and an even older soul,
With simplistic desires of love, kindness and rock n\' roll,
Despite the years of abuse and familial changes in his upbringing,
He chose to live for others, just couldn\'t shake the memories clinging,
I\'ve never seen, nor met a man quite like him,
He fooled us all when he opened himself up and revealed the hidden grim.
I watched this man overcome hearts more callused than his hands,
Envied his ability to locate the evil that lie within their plans,
I stood idly by as his light declined to darkness,
As he lost his wife, lost his children, forcing him to become heartless.
I\'ll never forget the sight as I opened his unanswered door,
Dressed in his Sunday best, feet flat on the floor,
Despite my best efforts I could not wake him,
I even reminded him of his children and the joy he brought them,
But like the world around him, his eyes remained closed,
As his little boy and baby girl drop the first rose.
I can\'t really write like him, but I hope his reputation will stand
Following the unsuspected Death of a Simple Man.
