Liked that Merriam poem. I wondered if Dylan Thomas's poem "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" is on that funeral poem favorites list. I've always liked it. Even though it's speaking of a father, and only includes men, in my last wishes I want that read at my funeral. (Hopefully that will be a ways off!) 😊

I hope it's a long way off too! Here's a recording of Dylan reading the poem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mRec3VbH3w (There's lots of versions to listen to - fascinating hearing how interpretation changes the delivery.)
