A local funeral director would ask..... a young preacher to help him with a task. It seems someone died in his care, But had no friends, or family to declare. He told the young preacher to preside........ over a service at this person's graveside. Young, conscientious preacher starting early..... but quickly found himself lost, very clearly! Half-hour late, he saw a backhoe with crew..... but couldn't locate the hearse in his view. Eating lunch, the crew was sitting by it's side. Munching away and visiting by the graveside. He knew he was late--hurriedly went to the open grave. Inside found the vault lid in place to save. He took out his book and read the service. Feeling guilty for being tardy he read each verse. The sermon was impassioned, and lengthy With great style, sending the deceased up comely. As he returned to his car, he overheard them begin their chat. "I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years, and I ain't never seen anything like that!"

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
