Four funerals & a wedding

Instead of four weddings & a funeral like in the movie
We've had four funerals & a wedding in the past few years
As we get older we attend more funerals as our friends & family
Age & disappear back to the dust from whence we came
We attended a wedding tonight & my hubby commented
He was so glad to be attending a happy celebration rather
Than a sad occasion: too many sad occasions in the last years
We lost uncle Terry just last year, Nana Evelyn just before
Auntie Renee & Aunt Imelda & uncle Dean have gone as well
Only uncle Paddy is left of the fourteen that once graced this world
Now my mum is ill & grief already clutches my soul
How many more must we lose before dear Jesus comes again?
