People That You Remember (late 80's)

Written for a colleague of mine who left our office  


There are people that you remember like stories,

For a minute if the story is a good one.

You are living the tale,
If one is a traveler, as I am.

These stories are often all
That can travel with me.

I have told the town that they will be missing a hero in my eyes,
"Change is a must," I said.

But change follows an obscure perspective,
And the town and I admit other heroes will enter.

But your story will remain clear,
And be quite popular in our library
