It seems we are at my funeral

It seems we are at my funeral

It seems we are at my funeral
Not a pleasant day for any one here at all
Me especially for its me that’s gone
And it’s me who is heeding the call

I’m sure you will be saddened
As I would had I been you
By all means shed a tear for me
But let’s not be too down or blue

I’ve been so happy to share your company
And trust that your memories are good
For it’s too late now for me to do much about them
But you know that I would if I could

Farewell my friends and family
Be happy during the days ahead
Enjoy your lives and be good to others
For one day this poem could be for you instead.

And yes, I did have a sense of humour
As is apparent from the words in this verse
And why not, our lives are too short to waste
For a wasteful life is a curse.
