Funeral Mass

Life can only be understood backwards
but it must be lived forward.
—Soren Kierkegaard

It was her nature to laugh,
to open her house to friends
and people she just met
One after another friends and family
used words to describe a person
they loved—she enjoyed a good scotch,
created wood doll houses,
owned a magic seven iron
that carried a golf ball straight and far
Photos spiraled through the years,
stopping short of the interim
when her life ebbed away
to begin again
