David M Bailey
Iconic in
his survivorship
ferocious in sharing
of Hope folksy and
disarming when
recollecting
the commonalities
that people who have
stared down their
mortality share
Anyone who
can relax people
even make them laugh
with a Leviathan in
the room deserves
kudos
He made a
true difference
for so many
He helped
people feel a
lot better
That must have
stood strong
among his manifold
last gratitudes
And if
the universe
has any sense
just now
he’s writing
a brilliant
shining
song
Imagine what a
guy like that could
do with a band of
herald angels
