It was a celebration
Of a life well-lived,
A family well-loved
By an honest man,
A worthy man.
It was a celebration,
Stories to be told,
Laughter and tears.
Remembrance and sadness,
For a contented man.
It was a celebration
For a simple man.
A plain talker,
A deep thinker,
for a man of his word.
It was a celebration
For a faithful man,
For a grateful man,
A peaceful man,
A celebration that came too soon.

this is lovely – sad – heartfelt. Thank you for sharing. I am sorry for the loss that led to these words.
