A New Year's Tea

Tastes of Loss and Grief

By Amelia DavisPublished 9 years ago 1 min read

Bouquets of white roses

Amazing Grace on the bagpipes

Stain glass windows surrounding

Over two hundred souls gathered

Celebrating the life of my father

His brothers shared with all

What a life he experienced

My brother read his own lyrics

Passion bleeding through each word

The anxiety rising

I stepped to the pulpit

Shaking while reading a poem

I wrote just a week before he passed

It was his very last Christmas present
