See Me Now

see me while my eyes are open don’t delay until they close sealing away my soul’s window look within, see the love and joy I hold capture this moment remember me this way when the light leads your eyes to heaven think of me, smile sometimes let laughter be my legacy I cannot live today if you fear tomorrow my eyes are open see me now

What a beautiful poem that speaks so much about the wonderful soul that loved the 'moment'... 'the now'.... My FAV. My prayers.

Beautiful message, my friend. And you'll always be remembered for your fun. I'd expect you to skydive in your coffin or go ziplining in it, LOL

Good one..Enjoyed reading your creative work. With the help of some new found authors, I have been really focusing on living in the present. It helps me daily. Eckart Tolley and Dr. Richard Moss have saved my sanity through peaceful harmonic books! I recommend strongly. You would love their work!

A great prophet once said. "If you give up fear, you need hardly give up anything else." This seems to be your message. Love it. Luck in the contest. LOve, daver

I was just trying to convey feelings I was having the other night. I have no fear of death, but I want to be remembered for the joy in my heart. When a body is laid out in a coffin, the eyes are shut. People need to make a connection while they are alive.
