I WENT TO A FUNERAL TODAY
I WENT TO A FUNERAL TODAY
I went to a funeral today.
The beautiful woman on the screen,
the same beautiful woman ,
who in the pretty casket lay,
I did not know her.
Though, looking side to side,
and feeling the intense sobbing energy,
She was more than extraordanary.
She seemed to be an infectious soul,
a true diamond of the deep!
The things that were spoken,
the tears that were felt,
she most certainly had ,
an exciting spirited free.
Strong and true in all that she was,
I'm certain she'llforever be singing and laughing on!
A personality that wouldn't  and definately couldn't be forgotten.
I went to a funeral today.
I went to understand and support,
the love and friendship,
my mother often would tell and say.
I felt the loss in mommas voice,
as she tried to hide her tears.
 I heard mommas,
sudden loneliness and fear,
with the news of God's difficult choice.
I went to a funeral today.
Looking from pew to pew,
not and empty seat,
nor an unbroken, tearless voice to say.
The people that surrounded me,
Reminded me stars heavenly,
the count of heads was lost,
there were so very many.
Every age and style,
filled from wall to wall.
This amazing woman ,
that now her body lay,
I'm certainhas blessed and placed her soul to stay,
Among each and every sobbing stars.
I went to a funeral today,
Wishing I had the oppurtunity,
to of known this beautiful woman,
in that same special way!
Author's Notes:
I did not pay much attention to the scare of the swine flu or what is now called the H1N1 till just recently daughters teacher passed from it then my mothers friend and boss. I dedicate this to my mother and her friends family. And to all those who have lost someone from it. Always sherry/Maggie

This is my first read of your work, and I have to say I like what I'm reading.  This is a very powerful piece, circumstances not withstanding.  Strange, but to some degree I have similar experiences when I read the obituary of someone in the newspaper.  The essence of their life boiled down to a few lines.  Your work is a fitting tribute.

I am not quite sure if whether or not the people who have passed from the H1N1 have taken the vaccine for it...if they have it is a much higher likely-hood for them to have died due to that and not the actual flu itself....besides that it is still a horrible loss for everyone...i loved the poem....tons of imagery...
