Sad Dizain -For Contest
That empty presence hung upon the day
processional – unknowns who held him dear
bearing the debt of sadness in their way
more apt to crack a joke than shed a tear
the joy of him is what they wish to share.
Thus, those who knew the man would nod assent
commend them for the levity they lent
soft memories that none will e’er deny.
Let laughter be one tone of our lament
commingled with the tears of our good-byes.
