Funeral
Deaths is in the air
She was a social worker, always put people first
She was diagnosed with brain cancer
And she knew & we just found out
She found out on her birthday, the day her Sister died in a car accident
She didn’t cry, she didn’t plead for a cure to happen
She simply said, “How many weeks do I have?”
She didn’t have a husband, died of a heart attack.
She didn’t have kids, she couldn’t get pregnant
She knew she had less then a week to live and she kept quiet,
She helped whoever needed help,
She gave all her money to charity,
She moved and sold her house,
So here I am today, at this funeral wondering how a wonderful woman could keep quiet about her diagnosis
She experienced death all her life; she knew death would come to her sooner then later
She didn’t cry, or tell her friends and little family,
She simply kept quiet, and made her last week on earth peaceful and alone
Death is in the air, at this quiet funeral where She would be missed and never forgotten
