Why should sorrow overtake
A celebration of a lifetime
The spanse of one's days
Experiences and emotions
The joys of living priority
Their memories cherished
That outlast a lifespan
And pass on age to age
A man may live eons thusly
Long after all he knew are gone
Generations forgot the name
But not the humanity shared
So the tears should be of joy
Sharing smiles and stories
Giving wisdom to live on
Intangable treasures immortal
A life lived
Lived well
Lived long
Wait for me, I am coming too...
