A Simple Life

A simple life is all he asked,
An iPod playing a song of Jazz.

A Scandinavian nature fit him fine
The most humble man one could find.

Kinda Techie yet loved a story,
A book from the local library.

To the church for weekly worship,
A sense of pride and ownership.

A walk to the sunny downstairs lounge,
Where winter serenity and peace were found.

A cluttered closet rearranged,
Nothing ventured, nothing changed.

Reviewing family memorabilia,
Revealed a small town encyclopedia.

A quiet man, no need to talk,
Just a sense of presence was enough.

A loyal friend when together,
A really good guy, a friend forever.

A simple life is all he asked,
It will be his lasting epitaph...
