Today I cried even though I did not know you well
I cried because I was wishing for one more day to know you better
I passed you in the hall almost everyday
I pass by your door and feel the absence of your presence
You were a very good neighbor always kind an anonymous donor for whatever our apartment building needed
You deeds that were unnoticed may have an eternal reward
You service to our country was recognized today
How come it takes someone's passing for people to be noticed
When there were so many opportunities when they were just two doors away.
