Whats Going On... Grief


 i remember her

so many went to her wake

meaningless words

tributes wafting about

like scrap paper

blowing in the wind

no one was there for her at the end

it's the age  old story

sad but true

  1. Sad but true indeed. Old age can be a lonely time for some.

  2. "like scrap paper
    blowing in the wind" Indeed. Never got to a full creation at all, just scrap paper. Grief on top of grief.

  4. That is so true, Rall, about ‘tributes wafting about / like scrap paper / blowing in the wind’.

  6. Ignored in life, but in death, "tributes wafting about" --- can't say it any better.

  7. True thoughts, till demise none and after death wards, flowers are showered, waste.
