He lived next door
I saw him
Almost every day
He always had a smile
And a friendly word
Then I moved away
And almost forgot him
Today I saw his picture
And I finally
Learned his story
His family was all gone
His wife passed before him
His child died from cancer
He gave to the community
He was a veteran of Vietnam
We once were neighbors
And I had never known
All the pain in his life
He always was so positive
I was sad to read
He died at 67…
Awww 😦
