TOO MANY
-
Mike Jenkins (U.K.)
Too many journeys down the long drive
Too many bearers carrying like a large
cross
Too many tears and favourite songs
Too many pictures of kind faces on
screens
Too many priests & celebrants
trying hard to realise
Too many well-known hymns
Too many flowers placed on coffins
Too many curtains and goodbyes
Too many cwtshes in lines
Too many final toasts & past tenses
Too many coils of rising smoke
Too many dreams of touching close.
Note - cwtshes - cuddles
