I read this to my 84 year old mother the other day, she thought it was beautiful. Today she asked me read that poem again. Thank you Demetrios!

Demetrios, my body will find that resting place. Hopefully it finds its eternity when traveling and waiting for the life to come. Enjoyed..

Thank you again dear ,Linda! Yes, the resting place is reserved for each one of us since the beginning of time! Time passes that fast on earth but it is irrelevant in afterlife! You so kind!

Your pen is full of wonder, Demetrios. A celestial pillow is the most beautiful term I've ever heard to describe the word DEATH ... the thing which many a-poets paint in such a dreary light! A fave for me.

The one who is afraid of death is bound to paint him in dreary colors but if you do not fear him then it is a completely different picture! If you wish read my poem " Life In Eternity". Thank you so much dear, Timothy!

True, the first part dearest, Anne-Lise, as far as the "pillow" we do not determent when we find our soul relaxing on it! It might wait or it might not! Thank you for your constructive comment! I do appreciate it!
