Until We Meet Again

by

Phil Pochurek

Life is a story we all must live out
To see how it’s going to end,
With no peeking ahead
To see what’s happening next
Or what’s coming around the bend.
We’ve all come here today
To this familiar place
To bid farewell to a friend.
To pay our respects and say Grace.
His long journey is finally over
His story has come to its end.
We’re gathered here today
To say good-bye to a loving spirit
Who touched each one of us along his way.
As a husband and a father
An uncle and a brother
And a grandpa just to name a few.
Only time could stop a man like Tom
Seems like there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do.
He worked hard and honestly
Over the course of his life
And when things got tough
He just played right through.
But he had some fun along the way
And for those of you who knew him well
Know Tom knew how to play.
There always seemed to be a little sand
In all the shoes Tom wore
No matter what he’d do.
From four wheelin around in the sand dunes
To the bunkers he occasionally rolled into.
He loved the life he lived each day
With his wife and family and friends
I’m sure if he were here right now
This is what he might say:
"Don’t think of me as gone away
This isn’t where the story ends
I’ve just crossed the finish line before you all
You know how I like to win.
Out on the fairways or out in the dunes
I’ll be waiting till your stories are through
Out where the sun shines everyday
Is where I’ll be waiting for you."
Each of us has a story to tell
And we write it in the book of life.
The roles we’ve played and the hats we’ve worn
All come together in the end.
We hand them down to our children
And pass them on to our friends
Until all of our stories are over
Until we meet again.
