I have been to large funerals, <br />even had to conduct one for a friend. <br />There are so many mourners that the pallbearers <br />have trouble turning the coffin around. <br />Then there have been others <br />where only a handful of people begrudgingly go. <br />My mother had one of those <br />and the paramount of difference shows. <br /> <br />Large ones are attended to say goodbye and display respect <br />for all that they had done for others in their lifetime. <br />The small ones are attended as a sign of closure <br />for what they did not do in their life. <br />Large ones have many sad <br />because they have to say to them their last goodbyes. <br />Small ones are rather sad <br />for either they held no respect <br />or their circle of real friends were very few. <br /> <br /> <br />22 October 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/funerals-3/
