'death Enters'

When death enters the realm, all else is forgotten it brings everything into perspective somehow the little things seems so irrelevant their importance almost become void the significance of wrong doing and past mishaps are stripped of their power to control our emotions of anger and hate - all we are left with are if only, sadness and so many questions--- *inspired by someone’s sudden passing* 210520121359

oh Wilma so many are writing poems about death but I see no contest about such a topic. Anyway, a daughter of a good friend of mine just died needlessly last week. It's all so sad!! You did very well here.
