Raise a Glass
Raise a Glass by James Mooney. The Cook family shared this poem at their father’s ceremony today.
Do not mourn me,
don’t drown me in black cloth and quiet whispers.
laugh loud, drink deep,
tell the stories that made me live,
remember the bad jokes,
the nights that stretched into dawn,
the times we swore we’d never forget…
and don’t.
I was here, a life well lived
I want something more than tears.
so raise a glass,
and dance a little,
let the wind take my name.
I’ll be listening.
Do not mourn me,
Celebrate me.
