吊唁天怀同学有感 文/武云唐
昨下午，与韩林木陈国祥到长治火葬埸吊唁送别前天才去世的同学郭天怀，悲痛之余，感慨良多，不禁诌得歪诗一首:
林木国祥和云唐，
昨天去到火葬场。
送上花圈烧上香，
送别天怀到天堂。
长治同学十余个，
都为天怀把心伤。
都想出门来送别，
无奈身体不帮忙。
有的眼底出了血，
有的整日在卧床。
有的突然关节疼，
有的腰疼心发慌。
有的近月胃疼痛，
一天难吃半斤粮。
何况都已耄耋年，
有心无力真窝囊。
这样吊唁郭天怀，
仅有三人到了埸。
天怀儿子和女儿，
守在灵堂多牺惶。
看到父亲同学来，
心情激动泪盈眶。
虽然只来三个人，
来了总比不来强。
开口就把叔叔叫，
满脸悲伤泪汪汪。
面对天怀三子女，
三位同学开了腔。
都说天怀是好人，
晋峰与他是同窗。
他与晋峰结良𡟼，
同学婚姻数他强。
恩爱夫妻谁不夸，
儿孙满堂乐无疆。
今日虽然驾鹤游，
年巳耄耋寿也长。
尤其儿孙有出息，
此生也算没白忙。
子女听后都感动，
感谢叔叔多夸奖。
明日父亲就火化，
后日送父回故乡。
林木国祥和云唐，
握手道别火葬埸。
代表同学尽情义，
此生无憾睡得香。

🌻Impressions on Mourning Classmate Tianhuai🌻
By Wu Yuntang
Yesterday afternoon, I went to Changzhi Funeral Home with Han Linmu and Chen Guoxiang to pay tribute to and bid farewell to my classmate Guo Tianhuai, who had passed away just the day before. Overwhelmed by grief, I was filled with emotions and couldn't help composing this clumsy poem:
Linmu, Guoxiang, and Yuntang,
Went to the funeral home yesterday.
We presented a wreath and lit incense,
To send Tianhuai off to paradise.
More than ten classmates in Changzhi,
All grieved for Tianhuai.
They all wanted to come out to bid farewell,
But their bodies failed them.
Some had bleeding in their eyes,
Some stayed in bed all day.
Some suddenly got joint pain,
Some had backaches and felt flustered.
Some had stomachaches in recent months,
Hardly eating half a jin of grain a day.
What's more, we are all in our octogenarian years,
Helpless and frustrated, with the will but no strength.
In such a way to mourn Guo Tianhuai,
Only three of us made it to the scene.
Tianhuai's son and daughter,
Stayed in the mourning hall, so desolate.
Seeing their father's classmates come,
They were moved, tears filling their eyes.
Though only three came,
It's better to come than not.
They opened their mouths and called us uncles,
With sorrow written all over their faces and tears streaming down.
Facing Tianhuai's three children,
The three classmates spoke up.
We all said Tianhuai was a good man,
Jinfeng and he were schoolmates.
He and Jinfeng formed a happy marriage,
Their marital happiness was unmatched among classmates.
Who wouldn't praise such a loving couple?
With grandchildren all around, they lived a joyful life.
Though he has now passed away,
He lived to a ripe old age in his octogenarian years.
Especially since his children and grandchildren are promising,
His life was not in vain.
The children were touched after hearing,
Thanking us uncles for the kind words.
Tomorrow, father will be cremated,
The day after tomorrow, they'll send him back to his hometown.
Linmu, Guoxiang, and Yuntang,
Shook hands and bid farewell at the funeral home.
We fulfilled our friendship on behalf of all classmates,
With no regrets, we can sleep soundly in life.
