At the crematorium ...

We sang All things bright and beautiful -

Long black cars were parked under the trees -


I remembered a gentle smile -

Long years recast in laughing stories -


I heard Nat King Cole sing Unforgettable -

Then Glen Miller's Moonlight Serenade -


I've been here too often Paul said -

We saw familiar chairs now empty -


It would come to this -

An Order of Service -


Eulogies -

Dark shirts -


The drive to the final garden -

The pale sky above the trees -
