Poetry Corner: Bud Light “Mourn Not”

March 9, 2018 by Bud Light Leave a Comment

Mourn not untimely death; mourn not the waste
of talents unrefined, of life not spent
before Satanic illness, in its haste to kill
reviled a life…from heaven sent.

But count the moments—gems of treasured joy:
The humor, strength and love he could impart.
Each word, each smile—let not the grave destroy
A soul which lives forever in our heart.

Although we can no longer see his face.
We have not forgotten it.
Only misplaced it
For a while.
