Notes About The Poem

- Goodbye Rest In Peace -

When
                                   the suitcase is packed
                                     with life's memories

                                      Kindness, care and
                                           love that has
                                made an indelible impression

                                 A breath of peace of mind
                                   with the smell of spring
                                             harmonious
                             - as a colorful summer meadow

                                                But
                                  the earth froze overnight
                                        and you touched
                                              the flower
                                  before the eternal wither
                                           in silent storm
                                        fought and suffered

                                         The final journey 
                                 no one is promised tomorrow




                                   R.I.P.    L. Milton Hankins

Beata Agustin December 30, 2022 at 7:07 AM Thanks for sharing this... Meanwhile, by God's grace, I greet you with the peace and joy of Christmas toward a prosperous New Year along this present: "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you.

James Marshall Goff December 29, 2022 at 9:43 PM Beautiful - gentle tribute Anne-Lise...short story... I'm smiling, I would totally disagree with a position Milt would take in a write, then brace myself for a backlash that would never come! such a cool cat... he'd say "James, look at it from this perspective..." I listened & agreed the majority of the time, I thanked him for his grace & respect, he would say discourse creates growth, in other words love one another...
