The lines "Earth is a place of goodbyes and heaven is a place of hellos" is not original but I heard on a Christian tv show the other day..Sara
A place of goodbyes is the earth Each generation we let go Heaven_ place of hellos and mirth Whitey went_ will there be rebirth Or with animals only end though A place of goodbyes is the earth Sadness overwhelmed_she had worth Was good ratter now receives gateau Heaven_ place of hellos and mirth While here on this earth, let me unearth And expand on my good traits let grow A place of goodbyes is the earth I'll leave_ take spiritual rebirth Put on my countenance's warm glow Heaven_ place of hellos and mirth All will leave in flight that is dearth Now new body on me bestow A place of goodbyes is the earth Heaven_place of hellos and mirth Click on "About This Poem"

Your faith shines in your words Sara. Eventually we all go, some think where they'll go, some know where they go, and some just don't know. Me, well I'm just proud to have lived, and wonder at the four children I have proudly raised. I'm content, either way. Have a wonderful & healthy 2012 to you and yours - James :)

Sara, it was interesting to read about what inspired this nice poem of yours about saying goodbye to this place and getting our "new bodies" in heaven. A thought of great hope. LUv, Andrea

Hon, there are some people who share this faith. They think that death is the end, but truly it is a place of "spiritual rebirth." You made me smile, Sara. I admire your faith as well as your writing skills. Enjoy the holidays and best wishes for the coming new year! Love, Carolyn

Beautiful write Sara & quite philosophical as well. We swing between birth and rebirths and often care and fear more for those things about which we can only imagine, but can do nothing. Earth definitely remains the only place, where we can perform, improve & enjoy our acts. Thank you for your precious comments on my Song ‘I want to Sing a Song for you’. Hope you would find the same Video Song interesting on U Tube write on Google search ‘RavindraKK1’s Channel’ & watch the Video Song. Ravindra

I enjoyed reading your poem, Sara. It's so sad when you lose a pet. I still miss my cat Butch who died 2 years ago. Kim
