my thoughts and prayers to those family and friends of Conrad, On Wednesday May 23rd Heaven gained an angel! may you rest in peace... Because he lived, next door a child To see him coming often smiled, And thought him her devoted friend Who gladly gave her coins to spend. Because he lived, a neighbor knew A clump of tall delphiniums blue And oriental poppies red He'd given for a flower bed. Because he lived, a man in need Was grateful for a kindly deed And ever after tried to be As thoughtful and as fine as he. Because he lived, ne'er great or proud Or known to all the motley crowd, A few there were whose tents were pitched Near his who found their lives enriched.
