Daryl

 Did you know him?

I did.  

He was that kind of real friend 

Who told you big

Loved you even bigger

And inspired loyalty 

Because he practiced it as a virtue.


Do you have stories with him?

I do.

Rowdy, funny stories 

Split your belly laughing

Tell it over and over stories

Because he carried adventure with him.


Did you talk about your faith with him?

I always did.

He loved Our Father 

And had great faith 

Believed in heaven

And loved to sing praise


Did he love your family?

He did mine.

He joined us years ago

Adopted some of us 

More than others

But loved us everyone.


Do you miss him?

Yes, me too.

So much to feel

But we won't fill 

His spot

Never.
