A funeral in April
Goodbye to Rose by patricia dillon
Poetry about this month contest entry

At the funeral of Rose,
Everything was apropos.
Father David did the reading
With a gravitas exceeding.
Grandson did the eulogy
With a brief biography.
The casket lay within plain sight.
Reality began to bite.
I had a feeling that was scary.
In my heart I prayed to Mary.
"Do not let my courage fail.
Let me hide beneath your veil."
