Your Funny Uncle

A windy day

The cars in slow formation

Not far away

A final destination

One mother's son

His father's distant gaze, regretting

Where they went wrong

He always found it too upsetting

Me and my friend

We lived our lives completely

From start to end

You and your friend, so sweetly

With strength and pride

In spite of everything, and swimming

Against the tide

To obstinately hope of winning

And at the end

Your funny uncle staring

At all your friends

With military bearing

And stopped to stand

To smile and speak of you directly

Goodbye, shake hands

Like you did everything correctly

To wipe away the tears

No more pain, no fear

No sorrow or dying

No waiting or crying

These former things have passed away

Another life begins today
