Social Circle

Another week has passed by

and one more has departed,

these trials of life

are not for the fainthearted.

Another name has been

added to the list

of family and friends

who will be dearly missed.

Another visit with flowers

to the cemetery

with the hope that the

fatal ailment was not hereditary.

Funerals not weddings

now provide our social circle

since we came to

the realisation we are all mortal.
