I wrote a poem for my family and friends to be shared or read at my funeral
(strange?) lol, I just thought we all do such a good job of supporting one another each waking day , why not write a poem of support and comfort at physcial death too... here goes
"Today's Tomorrow"
Think of me not in death my loves
With a forgot and silent dream
Under the stone engraved statue
Empty of face and smile
Frustrated by the life born
to the delicate Butterfly
Grieve for me not as a sky
Cast heavy in overshadow
only to rain in torrents
threatening the tiny kept sparrow
Listen for me not as an echo
upon a foreign shore
With the desperation of the waves
Groping new places to explore
Fear not the sleep
With a mind heavy and overought
is if my life was dry, unlived or unsaught
But look to the seeds of grass implanted
And continue to work the soil
And learn of the beauty in blooms
My laborer's of trials
Remember me as a mother Robin
Called to leave her nest
Only after she and her young
have shared of the same warm breast
