Last Wishes to take such thought and healthy care and leave a wish though not on air to write it down in black, and white, and leave it for our loved ones’ sight last wishes do not now try to make your amends do that while living and joyfully tend to the thrills of your life and joys of your days relieve all strife from your ways last wishes and reader! now it’s up to you to do what the writer intended you do! take the black and write of word heed it serious and be assured last wishes that the writer gave long, careful thought to all that is written all that is wrought and made these wishes carefully to be followed cheerfully last wishes now please read vigilantly of these wishes I give to thee remember me for who I was what words are left give them pause last wishes keep things simple plain and fine a slender box one made of pine invite my friends and family too to send me off on a hill with view last wishes keep the sphere cheerfully light don’t think you send me into the night and there is one thing I’d ask of you to keep my memory in your sing-song true last wishes once that all is said and done remember these last words of Sun bring a chime, or two, or more and leave them here the wind to explore last wishes for in the evening when dusk is nigh and light breezes come from on high a chiming ring I would have heard as angels sing their lovely words these, my last wishes |

Last wishes?... I think not - The sun's still out - I checked... We can keep these words for future reference though - because they're very wise ones...  |

I have a chime, round like the sun..played by water. I'm so glad that the sun still shines, but you are right to write it down. |

Kari dearest heart, wonderful wishes indeed. But they better not be the last, no not in the least. I wish you would write for all eternity, I've had a hard day and I need sun's surity That ever when I need her the sun will shine AnD then I'll know that Puck will be fine When the rain threatens to cover me with doubt And I've searched but I can't find my way about Just let me see Sunshines eternal warm glow Then my hope and love will once again flow my sweet sister of heart Love as always Puck    Take back the hope you gave,- I claim |

Too bad! We're not letting you go for a long long time! If that time ever comes and I'm still alive then... "keep things simple plain and fine a slender box one made of pine invite my friends and family too to send me off on a hill with view." I want to be one of the poets that writes a poem on that box.......because I know I'm going to see you somewhere again! Evocative write! |

Karilea~ Just beautiful, sweet poet ! *smiling* here, as in my yard there are many chimes~ Hung to play the melodies of those who sang life's songs. Somehow ... I think you may have known ... Appreciating the gentle breezes of you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

All the time I'm reading, the 2nd time through, cuz the 1st time I was thinking about my daughter's e-mail, anyway, I'm thinking, is Sunshine thinking/planning on the need for her last wishes to be known NOW? I'm happy to see what Nan said to you! Now, "The sun'll come out, TOMORROW, tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar..." So, Lord willin', you'd better! |

do not now try to make your amends do that while living and joyfully tend to the thrills of your life and joys of your days relieve all strife from your ways words ofwisdom that flow so beautiful from my screen. "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

I hope it's a long time before your last wishes are needed, but this is a lovely writing of them. And your words are wise. More of us should use the present to make amends and not wait. If we know our apologies are heard and accepted, the days until those last wishes will be much more pleasant! |

Last I heard, Sunshine will be around for at least another 5,000 years. By that time I think my works will be written on the wind |

Auguste, it is MOST certainly many years away...I've got quite a list of things yet to do...and I hold my plans very dear to my heart... Charisma, you're stuck with me for a long, long time....thank you.... Ethome, IF? IF? No IFS about it, of course you will be! And if I'm wrong? Then write away, Sir, write away... Marge, you know the Sun helps create those breezes....they don't just come out of nowhere....[laughing]....and I am not surprised that you grace your home with chimes...not one little bit.... Virginia...you can take that bottom dollar to Vegas and then you can take your winnings to the bank....thank you!.... Brian, your beautiful caused great smiles...thank you.... Illusion...I am glad you see the message that was left...thank you... Interloper...got that right! Well, the first part at least....thanks! |
