After the Funeral

After the Funeral David J Walker So, I really am alone Aren’t I? I mean without you and Those who filled in the Space left out at home or College You let me in and I read you like a book Hungry for every word Savoring the knowledge meant To be spent on someone else’s life Never anticipating the Unplanned endings Now lost trying to remember The beginnings of a Sad eulogy Anyway, The world is not the same and Not just because you are gone But because of the changes You would not have to bear These sad days remind me of The rain softly falling like the tears Of the first funeral as a pallbearer
