Why is it that, some people die
with others left behind to cry?
no rhyme or reason
thought of season
it matters not old age or youth
sophisticate or boor uncouth
good or evil matters not
nor what goals in life are sought
of answers I admit I've none
to how it's chosen a life is done
there is but one thing I am sure
that my life shall not endure
now I fear not of Reaper's curse
for I have seen and felt things worse
and when it comes my time to die
there'll be those left behind to cry.

~*~

I think everyone in their lifetime
believes "it cannot be any worse"...

and then there are stories...

Me?

I am opting [and will probably pay for]
a party. I want everyone to party!

I think the transition from here, to
somewhere else...

is a good thing.  I want folks to dance,
to rejoice, to enjoy that they are not
joining me at the moment....

I want to hear singing!

Loud and clear and strong!

I think I hijacked your poem....

but you made me want to express....

thank you!

I hope my leaving, never pains anyone so, more so, I hope they have a party, and remember in great big smiles, all the wonderful times we've shared, how we grew together and touched each others lifes....

I want no one to feel pain at the loss of me, but more so, perhaps a little more content in knowing me, and my very mundane life.

It is such a shame, that when people are gone forever, we wish so, we'd have treated them, like each and everyday with them, was they're last, and it is then, and only then, we realize how blessed in them we were.

Hugs to you for a thought provoking poem...well done
