EULOGY

If I could write my own eulogy,
what would I write? 

If I was sitting there hearing my eulogy,
what would the eulogist say?

If I was hearing my eulogy would I say
the old jokes? You're talking about someone else.

If I was hearing my own eulogy, 
what would I hope is not said?

Is the eulogy and the words at the wake,
the real final judgment?

If God gave my eulogy,
what would God say? 

Is there a final judgment?
