the short and sweet obit

the obit,
sparse and concise
as
the fresh snow
fallen,
now ice,
gives
the birth date,
and death.
the name.
no need to go into detail
here about
the wives
and children,
the relationships,
his work
and play.
how do you sum up
a life
in a few lines?
nothing says it all,
or comes close
defining all that has
occurred between
the start
and finish line.
