RELATIONSHIP Poem: In Memory of Bob Daly, by Eric v.d. Luft

My friend is dead.
One wonders why
A man so wise,
So generous,
So gracious that
His very life

Made better lives
For even those
Who only met
Him once or twice
Should not have been
A presence to

Outlive us all.
But he was old,
Which makes his death
Less tragic than
If such a soul
Had never lived.
