A Man Who Was Kind

When I was a boy

And in my youth

Being clever and funny

Gave me joy, that's the truth

Now that I'm older

And close to my time

What I value the most

Is for me to be kind

When I think of the legacy

That I hope to leave

It's not goods or money

It's kindness, I believe

On my gravestone of marble

Write these words of mine

"Here lies old Gene,

A man who was kind."
