We come, we go;
that’s a fact ,that
no matter how we try, we
can’t deny the frailty of
our existence in this
life we live.
We plan and scheme, thinking
we will live forever, and
somehow avoid
the inevitable. If we’re lucky,
we’ll leave behind good
memories for our adult children.
Meanwhile, the cards
and flowers surround
the bereaved, as they ask,
‘Why was she taken
away so soon? We need her here,
to love her, and be loved by her.’
They are left to mourn her
departure from this world.
At peace, her fight is over.
The next generation picks
up the family baton and
runs with it.
Rest in peace Linda
