Francy

When dragonflies hover

Above the pond algae,

Remembrance of one 

Who reached fame in the discovery

Of the rare one of those.

Francy was effervescent,

Full of joy in meeting people, 

Full of questions

About world politics to home fronts.

As a son, brother, husband,

Father, friend and colleague

He left his indelible mark

As someone whose joyful presence

Meant immortality.
