Eulogy

You were my first love my greatest treasure Sadly my world was shaken beyond measure Silently like a thief in the night death came Took your body your soul it could not claim I saw you suffering and fighting the pain Disease killed its victim again and again My tears collect like incense in a bowl Tears have a habit of cleansing the soul Like a rudderless boat in a boisterous sea I’m not sure how things will end for me Kind words of comfort from all around Unconditional grace and love abound I would like to conclude this eulogy this tribute With the words of the minister so resolute And I quote “Let us not wait for the storm to pass But let us rather learn to dance in the rain” unquote Fare thee well my forever love my life
