We Are Gathered Here Today. . .

Eulogy~


So now you're all gathered here in one place today,
your dresses, your suits and your ties.
I'm guessing you came because I'm going away,
and NOW you wish to say goodbye.
I spent so many nights alone while I was here,
Endlessly searching for a friend.
Somebody that could help this old World disappear,
But most of you refused to bend.
Your lives were just so busy getting nowhere fast,
But it's okay, I understand.
You couldnt see that nothing here is meant to last,
and, after all, I'm but a man.
I made mistakes and did some things I cant undo,
Now I'm afraid it is too late.
I cant turn back or try to make amends with you,
Cant swallow pride I never ate.
I can only speak to you by words in my farewell,
I really hope you'll hear them said.
When you get up to leave and hear those ringing bells,
dont cry, just laugh and raise your head.
Take with you a lesson that I learned in due time,
No prisoners are held in War.
You'll fight and fight and you will try to hold the line,
But we are all just casualties,
Nobody, ever in time, has, or will, be offered more.
So take it as it comes and smile as it goes,
Cause it all seems to go with haste.
Love all you can, while you can, cause trust me, I know
someday you'll have no Time to waste.
Someday all of those things you love and understand
will fade, and you'll have to leave, too.
Cause, after all you've done, you're still only a Man,
and Life ALWAYS collects the debt it's due.

Now i lay me
down to sleep
sway the judge
her thinkings weak
bring in satan
to feed her fears
maybe jesus
to dry the tears
but

she had none.

Eulogy

With heavy hearts we are gathered here today
Goodbye is the hardest word of all to say
So many people touched by her life
So much now lost, a daughter, sister and wife

Above all she was a cherished friend
Giving her love freely until the end
A perfect person we know she was not
Flawed but true, we saw what we got

As we mourn on this day it gives us comfort to know
She did not fear death, in peace she let go
Her memory we keep and cherish with pride
We remember the joy and forget the tears cried

No light in this world ever truly dies
Destined to return with a new set of eyes
We know Bec will come back with wings made of gold
A life that is new and a soul that is old

As we lay her body down for eternal sleep
Our voices become too shaky to speak
With her smile forever in our mind
We carry on with this life unkind

We believe that one day we will meet again
Until then we say goodbye dear friend.

i guess when they rest my soul to sleep i wont be able to see you in heaven as im destend for hell from the goodness i fell in to these wicked ways no dreams nightmares every time demons voices take over my mind leading me like i was blind in to a vally of the shadow of death intoxicated breath i inhale deeply. feeling a warm hand as the devil came to greet me come in my boy he said settle down as i see if your worthy to employ so you can destroy man kind and heavens creation retaliation as the inosent look for redemption but evil makes no acceptions just go.s and makes its selections so many up for collection its become an infection to the young no protection when we come so pray for the lord your hands mightier then my sword .......

From Grace to grace

Little flower, child of the earth
Lies here now in gentle repose
Her face once, wrinkled, smoothed
No more sorrow no more tears

She had lived a life
To her was the fullest
Believing in goodness
Although at times misplaced

She had loved well
Given her all
To those she loved
She was much beloved

Grace has gone to glory
She will indeed wake
When the trumpet calls
At the Dawn of the Day.

Eulogy of a failure

Welcome to the funeral of your dreams.
You may place your candles before the casket, but please refrain from sobbing until the burial.

Here lies, aspiration and dedication,
perseverance and commitment.
All the blood, sweat and tears of years of diligence, wasted.
What you sought to be is now history.
What you ought to be is still a mystery.
With nothing more than depression to fall back into, you are fucked.
A gross affirmation to the dull, unrewarding life you've led.
Your toil achieved less than your desires craved and you slumped, in your impotency, to self preservation.
Discarding your soul to exist as nobody, once again, was brave of you.

And so we bid farewell to one of your coveted futures,
before family and friends and whatever power you may, now, believe in.
Forget, here, now and forever, what you though you could be and be reborn - deprived, into mediocrity.
Despondently.

    MY EPIC PATH        (self-Eulogy in a nutshell)





the past


      the present


             a photograph



distant


      yet near


             at peace


                    in fear



a laugh


      a tear


             my epitaph

Thank You
