Larry L. Reid
LARRY L. REID
Not how did he die,
but how did he live.
Not what did he gain,
but what did he give.
These are the units to measure a worth
of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not what was his church,
Nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended
Those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
to bring back a smile, to banish a tear.
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say
but how many were sorry when he passed away.
Ten years later….
Still so sorry.
Love you,
Marlene & Family
