Beautiful Eulogy

Inspired by the movie "The fault in our stars". Live...I pray thee...Live! For those who can't.

Funerals are not for the dead

They are for the living

Eulogies to bring smiles to the ones we live behind

Memories that re-echo the happy moments

Shared with those who cared to lend us their time

 

Pain reminds us that we still feel

Whispering words that reminds us…we are alive

But to bear and survive this pain

Would be to die every time our heart beats

And be reborn to do it all again for as long as the pain exists

 

“Rate your pain on a scale of one to ten”

How can I rate this pain when pain itself knows no scales?

The logic that pain can be measured by a set of numbers is silly

When “there lies an infinite number between one and ten”

Sum up those numbers and you have my answer!

 

There’s something about time that intrigues me

How the ticking hand of the analogue clock is deafening

Only when time demands silence from every other distraction

It’s there...between the seconds ticking away...that infinity exists

Each moment cherished, turning the ticking of the analogy clock to soothing rhythm

 

How futile every other problem turns out to be

Staring out these shutters, the meaning of life becomes clearer

Watching people go by, frustrated by trivial matters

Makes me giggle to see them try so hard to play a game

That has no end of endless worries and stress

 

It is in these last few moments your eyes are opened

Not to those who love you, but to those of whom you love

Choosing them to share last few intimate moments

Hoping that by some extension they give you relief from the pain

And see through your mask of smiles; that life, their life…still is...beautiful

 

So when someone gives you their time; please cherish it and don’t take it for granted

Because every passing moment might just be slipping away

And someday you may just be standing over graves

In hope see that one person, for the last time

And whisper words that wish for memories which can never be regained
