Equal Opportunity

Think what you like
Express whatever you feel
A funeral without a God?
Is it not just as real?

Did they live a good life?
Did someone hold them dear?
If they died a nice person
Aren't they entitled to be here?

The flames which consume them
makes all bodies ash but
Souls and spirits cannot burn
And can't be bought for cash.

Sing songs if you wish to
Speak verses and some rhyme
Cry and mourn freely
For there is no next time.

We gather for the send off
of someone we all knew
Sceptics also need nice places
to wish gone friends adieu.

Vibrant colours of stained glass
Old wood beams and seats
Candlelight and fresh flowers
Gives an aura which completes.

Churches' often have the best sites
With gardens meant to cheer
Solemnity is inbuilt
And we enter without fear.

If this God is any good
He (or she) won't grouse
If some doubters also assemble
Inside this holy house.

Impotence

I have a daughter who is ill
and she is also very sad.
She looks to me to help her
because I am her dad.

Dad's fix everything don't they?
Isn't that why they are there?
To stand and fight and win
like a powerful great Brown Bear.

I would like to fix things for her
to shield her from this storm.
Take all the blows and pain away
and return life to her norm.

But her adversary is mighty
it stalks her day and night,
won't let her eat to live her life
and her big dad mourns in fright.

This caring parent looks on helplessly
so wishing he could do more,
she is drowning in a deep sea while
Counsellors' advise her from the shore.

Funeral

Do not mourn my passing
For I'm in a better place
My pain is gone, my spirit's free
And the sun is on my face.

Do not cry at my grave site
Only my body is there (or only my ashes are there)
I've taken the path of eternal rest
And my soul can now repair.

Do not weep when thinking of me
I know you were on my side
We must all make this journey
And after all - 
I have only died.
