Don'T Forget To Write Your Funeral Plan Poem by Lyn Paul

Don'T Forget To Write Your Funeral Plan

Rating: 4.5


Michael Jackson's 'SMILE' played, as the coffin entered everyone stood tall
Mum's poem was read and felt by all
The Mourners were smiling at the photo's of Mum
As the DVD played, no one was glum
Happy pictures were played of Mum's life with a tear
To the tune of the music 'If I Lay Here'
Friends got up for the Eulogy
Wonderful Words spoken of Mum... Now free
Free to move on, to follow a new life
Happy if Dad, finds a new wife
Everyone looked like they were enjoying the moment
In a room full of love; as if Heaven sent
For Mum was so kind and by all adored
Yet sadly the Funeral Conductor looked everso bored
He looked like he had something better to do
This was just a job and he really didn't care just who...
Who had died Or who was grieving
About the life of this person or the world they were leaving
So... Make sure you write.. Your Funeral Plan
It saves pain for the family, A real helping hand
You can choose your Funeral Home, coffin, Cemetery and your music too
It will take away some pain Of losing you

photo's of Mum........why not photos? this poem has fantastic advice! ! ! ! but the funeral director/conductor may change from the time plans are made until the plans are needed to be carried out. yes, update funeral plans if one cares. i don't want a funeral, but IF i do, let my funeral be as in my poem: Fun-eral [it might be FUN-eral on PH]. favorite lines: Yet sadly the Funeral Conductor looked everso bored He looked like he had something better to do This was just a job and he really didn't care just who... Who had died Or who was grieving....................i like the capitalizing of Or. hopefully it was an 'off day' for.........................................................................the conductor. don't we all have one of those from time to time? To MyPoemList. and a good length for a future showcase! bri :)

Whatever your beliefs Death should be a celebration of a life lived. Should never be left to strangers to lead.
