Today, many friends and family members gathered to say goodbye to an amazing man. He will leave a very large hole in many people's lives, but he will also leave a very large legacy as well. His funeral was a beautiful tribute to a great man who touched thousands of lives.
As we left the funeral we were handed a bookmark with the following saying:
The time to be kind
is now.
The place to be kind
is here.
We needn't be told
the way to be kind
For the way to be kind
is clear.
But it's good to pause
and remember
In the heat of our stress
and drive,
The very best time
to live
Is while we are still
alive.
The time to be happy
is now.
The place to be happy
is here.
The way to be happy
Is to make others happy.
Simple enough, I fear
But the simple things
we are apt to miss
As we struggle and fret
and strive
Forgetting the very best time
to live
Is while we are
still alive.
I don't usually make New Year's resolutions. But I think this year, this poem wil be mine.
I have put it in a place where I can see it every day, and in memory of Dennis Barney, I will strive to live while I am yet still alive.
