In the event of my soon demise
Let me state this clear,
I'm glad we got a chance to meet
And share our talents here.

This may sound ovelry morbid
Or melodramatic to you,
But as I get more up in years
I know my days are few.

If anyone, I've offended
I please ask you to forgive,
Going around with hurt feelings
Just is no way to live.

I hope I've been a blessing
To some who needed strength,
Or a laugh or a kind word
To help you go the length.

I know my life's far from perfect
In my life I've made many a mistake,
Please overlook my weaknesses
(I'm a sinner, for Heaven's sake)!

I thank you for the richness
In the sharing that you do,
You added to my life's sterhouse
I'm richer because of you!

No, I'm not suicidal
I'll go in God's good time,
But of my death, I'm accepting
It's part of this life of mine.

To God be all the glory
I'm forever in His debt,
For giving me friends and all things
I'll praise Him with the life I have left.


WOW- another day of life-and here among friends!
Ain't God Grand!

Amen to Dennis' reply David....You have been a friend, a mentor, and a comedian for us here.  I can't begin to tell you how much I have learned from your beautiful words.  Hopefully we'll all be around for many years to come to share and to learn.  This is truly a lovely piece, and I too thank you for being a friend.  Bonnie

You have helped me to delve into scripture more deeply than I ever had, you have been my encouragement in writing poetry, so that I have grown and am a better poet for you sincere appreciation. You have been my friend, who makes me laugh, until I'm in tears. Most of all a friend who understands what true friendship means,total acceptance and unconditional love.Thank you for all that you are and know that I appreciat you very much. So, please don't kick the bucket just yet, cause I need you in my life! Love, Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.
