ADRIENNE
gold
soft
metal
bends and gives
as she did in life.
pleasing everyone first, humbly,
giving more than she had to give
quiet suffering
arthritis
twisting
all but
her
heart
NO MORE TAPPING
dog
man
they walk
silently
dog offering sight
blindly, the man gives affection
AT MY FUNERAL
dead
gone
my friends
family
at my funeral
violins play the Blue Danube
celebrate the life I had - do not mourn my passing
so lift a pint of Guinness in my name, and be sure to keep Metallica blasting
