Sara Kendrick Poet Villanelle

Notes About The Poem

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

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 receiving 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

James Fraser January 2, 2012 at 8:01 AM 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 :)

Andrea Dietrich January 2, 2012 at 7:57 AM 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

Carolyn Devonshire December 28, 2011 at 12:58 PM 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

Ravindra K Kapoor December 28, 2011 at 4:30 AM 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

Kim Merryman December 27, 2011 at 1:58 PM 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
