Eulogy
With heavy hearts
we are gathered here today
Goodbye is the hardest
word of all to say
So many people
touched by her life
So much now lost
A daughter, sister and wife
Above all she was
A cherished friend
Giving her love freely
until the end
A perfect person
we know she was not
Flawed but true
we saw what we got
As we mourn on this day
it gives us comfort to know
She did not fear death
in peace she let go
Her memory we keep
cherish with pride
We remember the joy
forget the tears cried
No light in this world
ever truly dies
Destined to return
A new set of eyes
We know she will come back
wings made of gold
A life that is new
A soul that is old
As we lay her body down
eternal sleep
Our voices become too shaky to speak
With her smile
forever in our mind
We carry on
this life unkind
We believe one day
we will meet again
Until then we say
goodbye dear friend

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
