Sad Dizain -For Contest

That empty presence hung upon the day processional – unknowns who held him dear bearing the debt of sadness in their way more apt to crack a joke than shed a tear the joy of him is what they wish to share. Thus, those who knew the man would nod assent commend them for the levity they lent soft memories that none will e’er deny. Let laughter be one tone of our lament commingled with the tears of our good-byes. 5/14/2016 submitted to – Sad Poem – Dizain – Poetry Contest sponsor – Laura Loo

Well, Jan, I have been to many wakes/funerals where adjacent to the "core" family there always seems to be a group of "peripheral" friends, often unknown, paying their respects to a "friend".
