Epitaph – Eulogy BY Linda Blair This man, lying here in state – DEAD – lives. His aged soul - but not his heart – he gives to me – for me - this is such a shame, so on him – everything – I will blame. He has always – to a degree - been there for me. in my need – my desire – much more, I want to be, and so, because these things I want, are not met I have left him perplexed, to wonder, worry and fret. Fret about the things I do, I do not want him to know, and so, I play my little games, put on a great show. Now that he / I have gone - to that great beyond I believe I now understand my act – him I wronged. And so, I now leave this old man – alone to take his life’s journey - on his own. I wish I could find peace and glory in telling Bill, - for my act – I am sorry I think he knew ?, that it is just not in me to face up to, and accept my responsibility. May god speed you on your way Bill, I pray, one day. you may, again find life’s thrill. B.
