I CAME AND WATCHED MY FUNERAL

I came and watched my Funeral

The strangest thing to do

With lots of friends and family

Sitting in The Pews



I looked down on my coffin

An empty shell within

A temporary vessel

To keep my spirit in



The casket lost my interest

It’s purpose fully served

A symbol now for Mourners

Much more than I deserved



My Wife, my Son, my Step-sons

Sitting all together

Crying at my passing

They thought I’d live forever



I stand behind my Wife

My love for her still smoulders

I kiss her on the lips

And hold her crumbling shoulders



Her crying halts, her breath is held

A tingling on her lips ?

She puts her hand up to her face

With trembling fingertips



The moment it soon passes

Her shoulders turn back slack

Just a breeze, blowing through the Church

She knows I won’t be back



I want to tell you “ I’m ok,

I’m with you in your grieving.

I haven’t got much longer,

For soon I will be leaving “



But now we live on different plains

Mine Spirit, yours on Earth

Not able to communicate

Just like we were at birth



My Mother comes from out the mist

“ Come Son, we must go,

Just walk into The Light,

And join us in The Glow “



“ My Earthly heart still loves you ! “

I try to tell my Wife

It falls on silent eardrums

I’m not now part of life





The Light is like a magnet

Still pulling me away

I let her go, remove my arms

It’s then she starts to sway



My energy has drained her

She faints onto the floor

“ Good-bye my Wife, I love you “

She answers “ Love you more ! “



For one brief moment, we were one

Our frequency’s combined

She’s coming round now, getting up

Our Souls no longer blind



Although her tears still flow

She has this knowing smile

She now knows I’m ok

Across those endless miles



So now I go, with happy heart

No longer need to stay

She knows she’ll join me one day

She knows that I’m ok



She leaves the Church still smiling

A friend says “ You must miss him ? “

A secret knowledge in her eyes

She knew who she’d been kissing
