Attended a funeral today
For a dear old friend of mine
The service was going well
Until it came the time
For folks to step up to the mic
To offer words of praise
Ohhhhh by time they all were finished
My head was in a daze
One by one they lifted him
To lofty realms on high
Then I began to ponder – hmmmm
Did I even know this guy?
Things that were said of him that day
Some true and some that ain’t
This ordinary human being
Somehow became a Saint
~ Joseph G Mrak
