A long life was lived, adventures, events
Births, marriages, failures, triumphs
Family and professional.
The Life Test slipped by
You never took it.
The Test of Loss, Death in the face,
Holding it in your arms watching Life turn lifeless
Succour a survivor at the moment breath left.
Nay?
Missed the Rites of passage
To test Humanhood?
Be not proud.
