We Must Not Weep At An End

We Must Not Weep At An End  - David Burrows - A Non Religious Funeral Reading

We must not weep at an end
for there is no end.
We are not what we were.
We cannot lose what we have gained.
We have met, we have touched each other with smiles,
Exchanged unknown emotions.
We have embraced without shame.
We have met for a season,
A brief interlude in time
And so we part, the purpose done....

David Burrows
