Weddings And Funerals...... Poem by John Tansey

Weddings And Funerals......



Growing older, I abhor days
With names:

Saint Patty’s day,
Valentines,
Or all Saints
And Birthdays

I don’t want to remember
anymore
on the anniversaries
of Christmas
and New Years Day.

These are for the young
who have, yet,
to create their own memories;

But now, at my age, there are no more
Weddings to attend,
Just funerals...

How about your grandchildren? You were born the year I started teaching at 36.
