In the quiet glow of dusk's embrace, Lives Kevin, our neighbor, a gentle grace. Known forever in our small domain, A martial arts expert, humble, yet plain. Stories spun from a life well-lived, Tales of courage and wisdom he gives. His presence, a balm in times of strife, A testament to a steadfast life. When loss cast its shadow, heavy and cold, Ellie and I, in sorrow's hold, There stood Kevin, with arms outstretched wide, To mend our hearts, by tears untied. With a hug that whispered, "It'll be alright," He turned our mourning to softer light. A neighbor, a friend, in kindness untold, In his embrace, a warmth we hold.
