There Will Be A Party

I'm planning now, and inviting you
but your invitation won't be sent for awhile
so keep this close, it's just for you
and know it was sent with a smile…

I'm making plans, for earthbound I'm not
and I'm soon going to fly straight home
but to send me off, would you please
leave a postcard if you've gone to Rome?

I'd like for you to show up, stay while
for when my party comes
it will be held in N'Orleans style
and you can dance and sing or hum…

for it shall be a grand event
no crying out loud, shame on you!
but cry for us and our happiness
'cause we've all been given great clues!

For there is life out there,
out there in the hither and yon
feel the energy and the light,
in the greatest of all beyonds…

and when you see the notice,
in black and white newsprint
come and join the party -
you're even allowed to sprint!

I'm planning now, and inviting you
but your invitation won't be sent for awhile
so keep this close, it's just for you
and know it was sent with a smile…

know that it was sent with a smile….

Karilea I'll be there with bells on! I'll pack my bag today and have it by the door, that way I can go as soon as you give the word! What shall I bring? A bottle of bubbly perhaps?  Love, Ellie

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

Just watch for the obits, folks...way on down the line...when they say "she wrote poetry, and she did it fine...she was a Passionate Poet, and blue pages were her sign..." that's when you know it's time for the party, come and give toast, and make it hearty...and send me on my journey well...I'll come back in another form, perhaps a muse, you can never tell...

and thanks to all for reading...I'll make sure you all get special invites...

Karilea~

Well, I ain't going to no party !
I'm gonna sit home and cry
and pour it on the pages
to say a prayerful goodbye.

I'll read the poem proper
and know your spirit
will hear it ...
but I ain't going to no party !
My little heart couldn't bear it !

*So, whatcha' gonna do ...
come back and haunt me ?
Alright ! !  

You're wonderful - did I think to tell you that ?
Love ya'

Thanks for this invitation
and I'll try not to be late...
For I know it will hold merit
As entering Heaven's gate.

I'll meet you at your party
With a halo and golden wings
Displayed in sweet assurance
For the sunshine your life brings.

God Bless You, Bob <><

I love it!  Always told my kids when I go, don't sit around crying or spend time at my gravesite.  Celebrate life by doing something to inspire, relieve or bring joy to someone else, instead.  Thank you for posting this.
