Mortality
Another funeral to attend
Another farewell to say
As we our years increase
So do we recognise our own mortality
We see the mourners gathered round
The tears so freely flowing
And hear the eulogy of a life well
spent
Whilst the priest’s voice intones
The riches of the after life
They are just words to the departed
kin
Though meant to comfort
The words touch not the hearts of
them that mourn
They only think of loss and grief
And see a bleak future ahead
The final farewell said,
A chapter closed
What does tomorrow hold?
