I wrote it for his eulogy right after he died this past month. I hope it touches someone else out there as well. [bodytext] => Sitting at the kitchen table
Holding hands,
Talking about life,
Love, anything we can.
Long talks that just drifted away from us,
Until we had no idea how we got there
Or how long it had been,
But it was great to share.
Friends with everybody,
I don’t think that anyone that knew him
Had one harsh word to say about him.
At least, not in my range of hearing.
Loved by all his children,
And all of his grandchildren.
A legacy worth having.
Memories built and shared
And moments graved in our minds,
That’s the legacy of one man,
So loving, and so kind.

The Legacy

Sitting at the kitchen table
Holding hands,
Talking about life,
Love, anything we can.
Long talks that just drifted away from us,
Until we had no idea how we got there
Or how long it had been,
But it was great to share.
Friends with everybody,
I don’t think that anyone that knew him
Had one harsh word to say about him.
At least, not in my range of hearing.
Loved by all his children,
And all of his grandchildren.
A legacy worth having.
Memories built and shared
And moments graved in our minds,
That’s the legacy of one man,
So loving, and so kind.
