When Death Is Past Its Prime

if there is grief when someone dies too young
then we should celebrate a death
when death is past its prime
old age takes everything that is of worth
and in the end we do not live
although we yet may breathe
with age and illness men will long for death
they pray to greet it like a friend
but prayers remain unheard
so spread my ashes in a worthy spot
and pour the wine and serve the meal
and whisper what you feel
and if you would then read my poetry
and sing a song or two
all else is lost to time
