MYSTICAL JOURNEY
Children identify with our fears
Where adults share our dreams.
Life is a mystical journey
With laughter, sadness and schemes.

A never-ending quest of struggle
Where everyone has their role.
Sometimes wrong, sometimes right,
Facing problems, which take their toll.

Even the beautiful someday shall fade
As year after year they grow old.
With aches, pains, wrinkles and grief
The answers of a lifetime unfold.

How long will we be remembered
For better or for worse?
For being tender and understanding
Or just another person’s curse.

Truthful and honest with family or friends
Staying clear of any who lie or sneak?
Guarding against actions selfish, and cruel
Free to be generous and unique?

After death who will miss us
When to heaven we have gone?
Will family cry our name in tears
As in their hearts we live on?

Another nice poem with lots of truths.
I used to tell my children not to hang by my grave when I'm gone, but use something good I've taught, to live on.  I've thought of those words when our 2 youngest children died and adhere to some of their best in memory of them.

Or is it better that the decay
we see in our world today
offers the living cold comfort that
even their betters will die one day?

Any idiot can see that the result is true.
