Forever

We don't discuss death
Civilized folk use funeral parlors
Funeral at home? Why on earth
We're good, clean entrepreneurs

The next generation never learn
How death is life, too, recycling
Part of life, why fear it, discern
God gives us children to go on living

Joe Dimino Date: 4/27/2022 6:45:00 AM I want to go to sleep feeling healthy -- maybe slightly giddy or tipsy...and surprise! Wake up in heaven. I do not fear death...but the process, can be a pain. Blessings my friend:) Login to Reply Anil Deo Date: 4/27/2022 7:45:00 AM Your fiesty piem today tells me. Father DeMino will leave this earth in a magnificent way -- but only WHEN he is ready for that. Shalom shalom Friend, much health

Lisa Ricci Date: 4/26/2022 9:37:00 AM Hello Anii - Without saying, death is sad and more. Also true that it is a blessing. Who knows why some die without notice or suffering while others linger and suffer to their last breath. I have seen both. and the suffering. When God takes away the pain and suffering it is a blessing and a prayer answered. Yes, through children we live on. Your entry and words are clear. Have a peaceful and night. I hope you remain safe through travels. Love and Blessings Shalom and Namaste always. Login to Reply

Valsa George Date: 4/25/2022 7:36:00 PM Death is only a recycling of life.... a passport into eternity ! So we needn't fear death ! But as frail human beings, most of us dread death ! Somehow we should learn to accept death as a welcome thing to die peacefully ! Your poem has engendered great thoughts, Anil.... Login to Reply

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 4/25/2022 10:04:00 AM Some cultures accept life and death as all part of one process, to live or to die means the same, of one thing we can all be certain and that is death. The wise and people with foresight are the ones we should listen to, like you my friend - so well penned. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Login to Reply

Victor Buhagiar Date: 4/25/2022 9:06:00 AM Everyone must accept death and we should pray for a happy death that leads to bliss. Blessings. Login to Reply

Vijay Pandit Date: 4/25/2022 7:32:00 AM When one considers death as extension of life, and the legacies we leave behind--that would be same as being forever. Powerful sentiments you convey my friend. Fear fades if we accept your premise, Anil....only the wise can see through. Login to Reply
