And He Liked Really Cool Cars
For George Ebarb
Of happy memory
Who served God, his family, prisoners,
And all who were blessed in knowing
him
With unfailing love and generosity
(And he liked really cool cars!)
A convention is to say
that when we die
God will not ask us about the
cars we drove
But we may hope and pray
that in George’s case
A happy exception was made
for him
George
was my mentor in prison volunteer service. I didn’t know he was a rich man, for
he wore his wealthy lightly, and I didn’t know he gave much of his wealth away,
for he was also rich, as Chaucer says of the Parsoun, in “hooly thought and werk.”
