Funeral in My Mind

Geena Maharaj
Aug 28, 2017 · 1 min read

Was there a death in the family?
Did a dear friend pass away?
I’ve written this eulogy I’ve been reciting
every day.

I force a weak laugh,
A sad attempt at a grin,
But what’s the use in trying to cover
my chagrin.

Death is all consuming,
If such a thing did occur,
I’m recounting all the years but it looks like such
a blur.

I feel you Emily,
There’s a funeral in my mind,
But tell me that the mourners leave and I will be
just fine.
