Poem
All who knew him, knew him well With strangers he got along Neighbors and anyone who rang the bell No matter your views right or wrong Asking, ‘How do you know god exists?’ Demanding others to show proof But for no other reason did he persist Than to inspire passion for one’s own truth Whether you needed a tool or a gadget He’d have it and give it no charge An oil change, time to talk or a ratchet His generosity was abundant and large Opposite his nature is why it was so painful For him to witness others lack of humanity How people could be so vengeful and hateful, Acts of superiority, selfishness and vanity A brilliant mind now here resides On his black board in the sky it is written He made a difference in others lives With his ability to be in the present and listen Buddhist and Zen philosopher, writer Advocate for change in the law system Musician, conversationalist, listener Was his charm and undeniable wisdom His political views were intense He valued worthy ideas with conviction Were he to have ran for office, you’d sense No doubt he would win the election Garage sales, craigs-list, free stuff sign Consuming many of the same thing, kept him busy Swapping with only a hand shake in mind Hoping to make another one's life easy I hope he knows the path he laid How much he will be missed The difference he made With everyone who exists A little bit of Larry was needed to keep The balance in the universe A soul so sensitive, so passionate and deep With finished work here on earth Gone in his present form Standing on this earth no longer But his spirit is not worn It lives in us, pain free and stronger The sun beaming down is his face His touch warm not cold Shining down with quiet grace Giving others a hand to hold A little bit of Larry knew how To give the whole wide world what it needs His spirit, which is a part of us all now Allow us all to a little easier breathe
