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.
