Ode to the Good

At midnight dependency breaks;
By noon we attend the wake.

At one legs are flying
By afternoon we are crying.

At five speech thrives;
By twilight the hearse arrives.

At nine curiosity blooms;
By nightfall we reach the tombs.

At fifteen the world grows dim;
By midnight we remember him.

Remember the life lived and the people he affected
And know that now he is protected.
