A MAN TO REMEMBER

He was such a gentle man,
     a kind and sentimental man.
He liked to sit on the old porch swing
and listen to the bluebirds sing.

He was such a caring man,
     a thoughtful and a sharing man.
He liked to help with every task,
and didn't wait for us to ask.

He was such a funny man,
     a smile-with-me sunny man.
He liked to make us laugh and smile,
and he'd be chuckling all the while.

He was such a giving man,
     a life-is-worth-the-living man.
He liked to give to friend and neighbor,
and share the blessings of his labor.

He was such a precious man,
     a friendly, cheering, bless-us man.
We like to think of him today,
and we'll remember him alway.
  
Wouldn't you like to be remembered like this man?

"A good name is more desirable than great riches;
to be esteemed is better than silver or gold."
