Ode to Thee

A poetic verse in memory of you

Gone to soon
rest in peace
all thoughts shared
for self & loved one.

Beginning of a cycle
time draws near
end of days
reminder for masses

Begins with one
tragic loss
family left behind
work undone.

Mortal reminder
immortal reality
carry on
wayward son.

Our time will come
number taker checks us out
soon to be
faded cloud of dust.
