Just In Case Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg
Just In Case
The death knell sounds sonorously.
The mourners dressed decorously
have come to say their last farewell.
Invited by the tolling bell.
Some come to pay their last respects.
Nobody mentions his defects.
An unspoken conspiracy.
A custom universally.
observed by all the human race.
A funeral is not the place
to criticise the newly dead.
Perhaps because we live in dread.
That vengeful ghosts will take offence.
We choose to lie in self defence.

Death makes light work of past misdemeanors Ivor! Our shock of such loss, clears the view, bringing into light, the person who we knew, before life made made them spew. I am glad you said this...because there are some, who do just what you say, is unconscionable. Some have no morals whatsoever. Sorry for your loss, it always hurts, no matter how close you were, when we extend our hand, we take the risk of getting hurt when we have to let go. All the best to you Tai
