We
all know a
David
Smith such a
common
name
In
my case you were
the
boy next door
middle
child
your
mom and
my
mom showed
pregnant
bellies
three
times the
same
time – well maybe
just
two and a half.
Tow
headed blonds
we
both were
neighborhood
games
and
school
Your
family had
the
only trampoline
there
for a while
chain
linked fence
separated
our back yards
we
grew
neither
of us married
until
our late thirtys
you
had two daughters
I
have one. Wish we could
have
gotten them together
before
you passed on
a year ago last month
Your
final act of
service
happened when
you
were only 49. You
were
in the basement of
your
parents up
on the ladder I believe
and you lost your balance
or your footing
on the ladder I believe
and you lost your balance
or your footing
and
you fell and left this
earth
life.
Your
family will keep your
memory
alive and I
hope
that your girls may
visit
often and learn more about
who
you were and
who
you are now.
