Description
Tears Bring Strength
Went to a funeral
To say goodbye
Tears flowing freely
Down my cheeks
Made a few laugh
Somehow
A pile of cookie crumbs
Ended up in my lap
What a shock
Older woman asking me
If I want more
Young kid smiling at me
Tears became laughter
As the cookie crumbs
Hit the floor
Heard a voice
In the background

Sounds like a nice goodbye if there is such a thing

very nice words! There is not supposed to be saddness when we lose someone but that is just human nature. It is supposed to be a happy occasion, but that is very hard when it is someone you love!

I do not like funerals, but some times you have to go.excellent writing

Some 'passings' are best celebrated with gentle humour - I'm sure I would want to be the cause of laughter rather than tears when I go. Sensitively written as befits the subject. Mike

A compassionate poem, filled with love. Humor honors great friendships the best, especially when the friendship is one of unconditional love. Hugs, x:)

Wonderful piece! One of my favorite movies is "Four weddings and a funeral" Your poem reminds me of that movie. There's an amazing scene with a poem by W.H.Auden that bring tears to my eyes everytime I see it.
