On the Death of a Friend

A cold drizzle
and yellow-brown leaves
drifting down on this Adirondack fall day.

Lost a friend
someone a part of my life
I wish I had known better

Makes no sense to ask why.
I know why he was in my life,
as he was in many lives. . .

to affect a positive change in direction
to serve in God's plan for each of us
whose lives he touched.

husband, father, friend
a man who made a difference

Sensitive, caring, rugged, sharing
He was a "good" man
working side by side with him in the field
He had a peace, a gentleness, and a stillness of soul
that helped guide me to my church home.
