FUNERAL FOR ONE
Life is lived to its fullest having friends whom last a lifetime
The people you meet along the street, throughout school and beyond.
Co workers known for such a long while, do you make them laugh and smile,
What mark, what lasting Impression will you leave upon the world.
Will their be those whom will really care enough to be there for those moments,
We always hope that family is the most important of all from beginning to end.
The sad fact being that a lifetime can add scars and create a wedge between,
At times family and friends may unfortunately drift apart and not return.
Sometimes we do make amends before in our lives too late it is,
That’s not always the reality of things as regrets are for everyone.
If it’s not to late then visit, call on the phone, don’t die alone,
This is not the way you should go away, not a send off for you,
Funeral for one is not much love shown for anyone.
Keith Garrett
You are right but sometimes people are closed in their shell because of personal troubles and everything over can cause them more pain. Could you forgive them one day?
Of course.

I read the book of Dale Carnegie “How to win friends and influence people.” π Nice!
I love people but sometimes don’t listen to carefully…
