Placid Man or Woman

No obituary

Ever really speaks

Of the placid man

It doesn’t resonate

With the common folk

Even though

The placid man or woman

Is the one

Who can be the kindest

Who gives of his or herself

Every day with no reward

Or accolades spoken

They don’t seek the media

They just do

Perhaps their real reward comes

In the afterlife?
