Forgive Us Oh Dearly Departed

The mystery of life oft demanding Well beyond our Earthly understanding Camera flash like a blink of an eye From our birth until the day that we die Time to grieve those that leave, inadequate Unplanned plans demand that we have to wait Sleep, shelter, bodies cry for sustenance Life will not wait long for death’s remembrance Memories like a breeze gently blow by What or when, now or then, we don’t know why So, forgive us oh dearly departed Your memorial so short since started We shall soon see the rest of your story Reunited in white lighted glory Perrin Peacock June 16, 2018

Your poem speaks of from the womb to the tomb. The mysteries...the remembrances often demanding. I like your poem.
