Seven men in black
Two sons
Five grandsons
Suits
Shoeshines
Haircuts
Seven men in black
bore the casket
Stood facing us across it
for burial prayers
Left seven boutonnières
precise white flower line on top
Dignified goodbye
Rest in peace
Seven men in black
Two sons
Eagle Scouts to silver hair
Five grandsons
Rug rats to men
to husbands
to fathers
Your legacy to this world
adjourned to jeans boots
ham sandwiches
togetherness
the new crop of rug rats
romped with the dog
