Everyone laughed and talked, <br />Visited and ate a wondrous array <br />Of food provided by generous, loving hands. <br />IN OTHER WORDS, <br />The funeral was a great success. <br /> <br />But inside the head <br />Of the young girl standing aside <br />In the shadows, there was a cry. <br />IN OTHER WORDS, <br />She didn't understand the laughter. <br /> <br />The marvelous man, her friend, <br />The one she loved and respected, <br />Lay dead, victim of a tragedy.... <br />IN OTHER WORDS, <br />Why did he lie dead amidst the laughter? <br /> <br />She just didn't Understand...that life goes on.<br /><br />Scarlett Treat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-didn-t-understand-the-laughter/
