A Day Of Sadness.

Once more I awake,

Another day in my long life.

Looking back I see so much,

So much joy and happiness.

Wonderful people in my life

Both at work and play.

A working life that gave all,

Gave all to me without any loss.

And loving life with beauty all around.

But as I awake today

It is a sad day

As a good friend has passed,

And on this day I say goodbye

As I go to his funeral.

But I will always remember him

When he came into my life,

A man of great renown

But so humble within himself.

In time I will see him again

As I join him on the lawn,

The croquet lawn in heaven.
