Mack's poem he wrote:

MY LAST FUNERAL
I go to funerals year after year
Sometimes twice if God so care feeling
the pain of relatives and friends wondering when it is all going to end
knowing that when the end does come the funeral I’ll attend I’ll be the one why are so many people happy at birth yet so sad when one leaves
this earth
so prepare yourselves for him for one day your light will grow dim and when he taketh you to rest believe
IN
HIM
FOR HE KNOWS BEST
