An Elegy For Oneself
A great man, a heroic man,
Taken to early.
Always laughing, never grieving,
Only living from day to day.
Death is natural, giving
Life its meaning.
Without one the other has
No meaning.
Always smiling, never
Seething. Friends with all
As wise as an owl
As sly as a fox
A man never foul
Solemn yet, joyful
With plenty to share.
Always thinking, never
Caring. Wondering, asking
Why.
Never knowing always seeking.
A friend to the world,
A heart of gold,
beyond Death's grasp.
Though gone he will remain,
Forever till his memory fades.
