Eulogy

The world turns without permission,

and we move through time’s passing experiencing transition

of life everlasting.

Along the way new life joins the dance

through birth, acquaintance, design or chance;

a correct and natural casting.

We turn together or spin apart,

changing lives and molding heart

ever new and growing.

Moving across the lines of life

we label love, joy and strife

ever innocent yet knowing.

And along the way, the rocks we cling to

are pulled or worn away as the bards will sing to

until it’s time to fly.

And we must turn and move ahead,

ever grateful for the lives they led,

feeling the pull of heart and head

as pain and suffering they finally shed.

And we stand and quietly cry

and whisper…

Good-bye.
