The Measure of a Man

for Thomas F. Coman Sr. 

Just one


Of a kindness


Unseen


These days


A mensch among men


Placid amid the storm


Sheltering steadiness


Rising above it all


Anonymous not clamorous 


Good and faithful servant 


Well done


Done well 


Light perpetual 


Shine in silence 


So be it


Be it so


Ever and anon


Shore-ward sailing
