Funeral


Death is like a rope it binds people together The room was silent all you could hear was the gentle sound of the piano playing softly. The sun outside was shining brightly. Everyone put their heads down as if in sleep but really in prayer. Praying for the soul which is by now in Heaven. Crying, mourning, and weeping are words that best describe that very sad occasion, But we must never forget that that gathering was to celebrate life. Life which we will also celebrate in a different world at a different time.

I wrote this poem after going to my first funeral. I was in the 9th grade and I was an alter server for the funeral mass
