How do you salute someone one who doesn't drink?
For other friends you stand at the bar to drink and think
But if he is teetotal and a minister of religion at that
A beer at the bar with mates is not where it's at
A cappuccino or a cup of tea does seem it's meant to be
Or an orange juice with little finger raised for a bit for all to see
Perhaps in the end all you need to do to remember him
Is raise any glass, remember him and drink it down in his hymn.

Many ways to mourn, one way to salute; remembrance. Wonderful poem!
