Description
Here I lie quite lifeless
Here I lie quite lifeless, well, that’s what you’d expect of me
A funeral without a deceased would be an unusual thing to see
So, thank you for coming, it’ll all be over soon
I’ll be underground in one form, be it as ashes or some form of tomb
It comes to us all one day, never knowing when
Life is precious to be cherished and enjoyed, you’ll never experience it again

Try to be good and thoughtful people, well mannered, courteous and kind
Value your family connections, act with good morals in body and in mind
Where you can celebrate me and my hopefully fruitful life, leaving you positive, in good spirit or even enthralled A Final word to those dearest, I’m sorry to leave you so soon
However, there’s a que of unborn babies desperately waiting to leave their mother’s womb. My love and heart felt affection, in these final words I convey
As much as you will miss me, I hope, please move on with little delay.
About the Author
Keith Stokes-Smith was brought up in Solihull, moving to Worcestershire in 1997. Writing poems came easy to him in his twenties and early thirties.
In 2016, his mother passed away. Two weeks later, on a train journey to London, he belatedly wrote a bespoke poem for her funeral and wrote it as if she had composed it to be read out by her at her funeral; a strange concept you might think. From then on he found himself uncontrollably inspired to write more adopting words spoken by fictitious people of fictitious ages in fictitious circumstances. In essence, he has tried to be in the mind of the reader. His poems may be considered somewhat unique coupled very often with them having a sense of humour.
