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.
