One Too Many Funerals

Literature Text

A grandfather dies holding hands with his wife.
He passes away peacefully,
Leaving us with little doubt he lived a wonderful life.

A father kills himself without a word,
But even if he’d said something,
Would his family have heard?

A son is abused to the edge of his life,
His family never loved him,
He dies knowing that he’s leaving a world filled with strife.

Too many funerals in such a short time,
So many lives passing,
Some long before their time.
Wow, Sparky, you were right. I have been writing depressing stuff lately. This was inspired by my sister's friend losing her grandfather, my dad's friend's father dying, and listening to Concrete Angel a lot.
