Day of the Dead
Marilyn and Mom and Dad,
Uncle Aaron, Larry;
Helen, Irv, Frank, Jodi, Ruth,
Miriam and Harry.
Elaine, Barbara, Ann and May,
Muriel and Julie;
Nana, Grandma, Grandpas (2),
Rick – we miss them truly.
Folks and cousins of my friends,
Several former teachers;
Pets of buddies – dogs and cats
And some exotic creatures.
Many others in the news
Without a close connection
And all the rest who passed away –
Today’s for recollection.
We do not need a holiday
To think of those who’ve perished
But Día de los Muertos honors
All the dead we cherished.
