The True Gentleman

Devoted to his long term wife with her now he does lay
The true gentleman he was buried today
His children and grandchildren and his friends at his graveside did weep
For one who died peacefully in bed in his sleep
Devoted to his friends one who loved his family and his wife
To many he was a role model in life
Of  life he had lived for eight decades of years
A man who was well worthy of parting tears
For him bonfires never did blaze in the town
To be a good person his claim to renown
But of living a good life one who did succeed
Of more of his kind the Human World is in need
From life for him it was a painless release
The true gentleman may he now rest in peace.
