A Life of Honest Work
David K. Grim walked gently through this world,
With calloused hands and a willing heart.
In quiet rooms and humble spaces,
He labored faithfully, restoring what others left behind.
Self-employed, yet never self-serving,
He earned his living with integrity and perseverance.
Through long days and unseen efforts,
He showed that dignity is found in honest work.
Though his journey was not without hardship,
His life held meaning, purpose, and worth.
Each task completed was a testament
To resilience, responsibility, and quiet strength.
Now, his labor is finished, his burdens laid down.
May he find rest beyond the reach of struggle,
And peace where no hands grow weary,
And no floors need mending.
We honor David not for what he possessed,
But for who he was—
A man who worked, endured, and mattered.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
