This is a reading we had at Mia's funeral.

The unfinished

We cannot judge a biography by its length,

Nor by the number of pages in it.

We must Judge it by the richness of its contents,

Sometimes those unfinished are among the most poignant.

We cannot judge a song by its duration

Nor by the number of its notes.

We must Judge it by the way it touches and lifts our souls.

Sometimes those unfinished are among the most beautiful.

And when something has enriched your life

And when its melody lingers on in your heart

Is it unfinished?
