Tears For David

Inspired by Greg Etsells heartfelt poem, “Oh David”
 
Our dear friend and gifted poet Greg Etsell, just sent us the saddest news;
A friend of ours from The Villages, has brought us all the blues!
We’ve been gone for o’er six months now, but his departure breaks our hearts;
For he was fit and only seventy, now our world he’s had depart!
.
We‘d see him every morning at Starbucks, at a table with his coterie;
Sometimes he’d pass right by us, and pet our beloved dear Cody!
He and Greg were the best of buddies, it’s so hard for him accept;
This man who was so loving, now climbs “Jacob’s Ladders” steps!
.
The good so often die young, leaving sadness in their wake;
Loved ones and many close friends, their deaths so hard to take!
We cry for you “Dear David”, without you we will never be the same;
We make to you this sacred pledge, that we will ne’er forget your name!

                            Then became a giant too
                                    Loved by many
