 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

My childhood best friend turned 80
what does that make me?
A year younger he is the old man
A famous Supreme Court Judge also died this week
A man known to go out of his way to help others
Two different men a birthday and a Memorial
California Supreme Court Judge Richard Schauer
was 87
First posted it looked like the same man
As my son told it
He had just graduated from law school
His wife had one more year
So he had to delay his career
Not a good thing when you can be forgotten
The Judge had friends and was father in Law
The law firm said we have no openings
But for the Judge we well find one for you
He found a job for me and many others
The Judge is now in Heaven helping others
Both men I honor as lifelong friends
