Our Obituaries,How Will They Read Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

I was reading, about some passed souls,
in the obituaries early today,
should we as creative writers,
write our own, with feelings & emotions,
or rely on an unknown person, to have our last say.

Many obituaries, have more names of family,
than information, of the person that passed,
a man lived for eighty years, he liked poems,
after eight decades, this could be, the final description,
of our time, and our literary creations, our last.
