The Memorial

A somber occasion

old friends brought together

to commemorate one’s passing

memories recalled

recollections shared

stories told, some maybe embellished

a song sung

a few words spoken over the departed

pictures, pictures, pictures

bittersweet cognitive dissonance

good times remembered

old secrets shared

warmth, hope, tears shed

the innocence of little children

old friends in the making

goodbyes, farewells

and then back home

to wait for the next one.
