Ode to David
February, 2016
A church teeming with friends and family
whose lives he touched
Laughter and tears
For David
Gentleness, Kindness, Goodness
Never a hurtful word about others
Found the goodness in us all
That’s David
A true caretaker,
not just of our houses, our woods, our land,
but of others
Thoughtful, caring competent
Loved his family so wholly
Sunday dinners, all would gather.
Saturdays mowing the lawn, Noreen right by his side,
complementing his work with the weed wacker
A perfect pair
Happy on his tractor
fixing a broken pump
bringing the propane fridge back to life
He worked magic
A savior to us on so many occasions
An ever ready smile
shake of the hand
his kind nod
Watched over Grandma and Grandpa as they aged
and then Mom and Dad as they grew older
Taken from us far too soon.
The Adirondacks and the world
will be emptier for all of us now
How lucky we were to have you, David
Thank you for it all.
