Don't Die With The Dead

Don't die with the dead
Rather be skeptical on yourself
The dead are dead, no more problems
We the living have to think deeply
The dead has no more pain, no more fear
No more suffering; they are free
Stop shedding with those tears of grief
Begin remembering them with warmth 
They will stay with us in our memories
In our hearts, the joy while they're still here
Let only love remains for them
Love that is stronger than water
Stronger than storm, stronger than time
Death is not the end but a second chance
A transition that we all pass through
Live your life as they dream for you
Live as if each day is a gift God has given you.

Our mind is in tune in this poem, Darlene. No more sour grief to our dear passing love ones. Rather, be more introspection and keep them remembering in our hearts, cherished good experience while they are still here on earth. We can be more cultured and spiritual in life. It is destined for us to die and after that the judgment. Scary but we can't let pass easy death without finding the salvation of our soul. Love you more, Darlene,/hugo.
