Rest in Peace

You were quite the Dapper Dan

In your own way; in your own day

You kissed the girls. You made some cry,

Then kissed the teardrops from their eyes.

You made sweet love, then said, 'Goodbye.'

You didn't know what else to say.

 

Tiny points of starlight twinkled

From the corners of your smile, and

Laughter was a specialty that

Seemed to spread contagiously

To fill whatever room you might be

Occupying for a while.

 

People loved to be around you,

Loved to share your point of view,

The sure quick-witted sharp retorts

That bound back smartly, clean and short,

A rubber ball bounced off a court,

Like arrows flying straight and true.

 

Now you're silent, dearest friend.

Someday soon we'll meet again.
