Should I die, you must survive me with smiles Give lie to the separation of this Let the world see love transcends more than miles Sing of the passion sing of our great bliss I'll look down and hear your poetic voice See your steps find new purpose for your words Take pleasure in your knowing you've new choice Take flight you've learned the freedom of the birds I'll not leave you but stay within your heart Yet cause you no sadness you can measure It will be your chance for a brand new start You'll have chance to find new love to treasure Reincarnated my love did not part And receive from life deserved pleasure The first duty of love is to listen. |

Past this one by many times. Was afraid to read. Inspiring as always. Although we haven't seen each other in over 40 years - you have always been close - and always will be. You do tug the heart strings. |

Bill: "I'll not leave you but stay within your heart" To pretend that death will not happen is a human error...I like your toughts on this..although they make me sad. |

Even death cannot sever a love so pure, so deep, so strong...you will never be anyplace but in her heart I am sure. |

It is inevitable - when one approaches my age - i must consider possible death - I AM 68 - and I can't ignore it - But my love for potry and writing remains foremost - = Thank you |

You're still young and the start of your prime. Your special gift of writing will go on for some time. I've just recently lost a great aunt-- both she and her sister were 95. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. LP |

Why is everyone talking of dying? You and Mysteria. Its not going to happen for a long time, dear poets. But this was a very sweet poem. Joyce |
