when i wrote
her obituary, i embellished
quite a bit,
i laid it on pretty thick
trying to convince
the world
how wonderful she was.
how kind
and generous,
how loving she was
to friends and family.
she was perpetually happy.
i mentioned her humor,
her gentle nature,
her philanthropic side.
i selected a picture of her
when she was in her prime.
young and healthy,
sexy, with a glimmer
of mischief in her eye.
hopefully someone will
do the same for me,
when it's my time.
