Melancholy Memory

It was a Friday… not eerie nor frightful, no ominous warning, just tick-tock… The scars you left in our impaled minds shown while the wings of the angels carried you. Swiftly you were gone and took all joy along. In death, in forever, in the grave. Scarce grace lent to you. Although horrid the race, you shamelessly ran to Paradise. Words can’t express life taken untimely but, "Father and husband." carved in tombstone.
