Football gives joy and satisfaction
in the winning
So depressed in the losing
Cheer up my friends
it is only game
To say there is more to life than football
might sound like blasphemy to some.
Like children we play games
and watch games
It is an endless show time
with elements of chance
The game is uncertain
so is Life
Only Death is certain
“*Yet there is no death
you could not be more dead
than you are now”.
Passed on you will not care
about your remains
so gladly bereft.
In memoriam there is comfort
Visiting tombs with flowers
Keeeping the grave fresh and neat
Or ashes on the mantelpiece
They know you remember
Rejoice in their freedom
They do not forget you
As you feel the loss.
