Right up to the day Noah went into the ark.

They can only be stretched so far the elastic bands.

The end  the same however we have made our mark.

I was at the memorial mass of an old friend.

I had been at his wedding fifty years ago .

Someone on whom you could depend.

To cheer you up when low.

Some of the congregation believed in resurrection.

Others no doubt did not.

Both enjoyed Faure’s celebration.

Accepting our lot.

But this is much more than a tribute.

It is a Bon voyage and cheery salute.

……

Memorial mass

Is much more than a tribute

A sign on the way

See Luke 17: 26-37
