Happy belated birthday, Adam! This poem is so lovely and it reminded me of the eulogy I wrote for my mom's funeral in which I not only told stories about her, but talked about the stories she loved to tell. You are absolutely right. In the end, it's our stories that live on. I hope the ones about me make people laugh uproariously.
I love this poem!
Thanks, Paul! :)
THANK YOU, Adam :-)
Gotta love a bracing melancholy - it's character building!
It is! Thanks for the comment, Andrew. :)

Thank you, Tara :) I'm touched my poem reminded you of your eulogy for your mom. I'm a fan of your way with words — I imagine it was beautiful.
Happy birthday, Adam! As I've said before, this poem packs a gorgeous punch!
Thank you, Margaret! 😊
I love a good bracing melancholy, too. Wonderful poem and happy birthday.
Thank you, LeeAnn! Happy to hear we're both in the bracing melancholy club. :)
