for me, at least,
the day will come-
when not another day will follow.
but i, at least,
will know
that the days behind me,
maybe even just one,
will live on ahead of me.
immortality, after all,
isn't that hard to come by.
if you can make someone smile or laugh,
you'll live forever.
because even when you are six feet under,
you really don't have to be.
like a comical epitaph etched in a tomb:
our beautiful boy
you'll be around for quite a while,
and still make people laugh.
