Love
There’s no passing lane
in funeral processions.
Just condolences.
I tell funny stories about the past to remember that there were happier days.
But I stop when we enter the cemetery gates. And speak in soft tones so none of the buried souls think it’s a party.
I eulogize a life well spent with an acronym:
L. Be Loving and kind.
O. Face the world with an Open heart.
V. Live Virtuously and seek honesty.
E. Let Empathy be your guide.
