Last Thoughts of Joy and Grace

Last thoughts of anyone we cannot know unless they voice those thoughts, which would be nice - to hear their love expressed as they let go . . . Unfortunate are those who pay a price for years misspent! Regret they surely feel to see no loved ones gathered round their bed. Imagine letting go - heart filled with zeal because it was a decent life you led! I think last thoughts can be of joy and grace, for some pass on with a smile on their face! April 29, 2021

Andrea, Love the places your head takes you to. The fact your Rhyme wrestled with dilemmas of the soul left a smile on mine. -Richard

Nice, Andrea. In my lifetime, I've seem many people draw their last breath. I always wished I knew what they were thinking...of if they were thinking. Thoughtful pen!

Those lucky ones have that smile you speak of. Otherwise death is grim for many--and last thoughts ache in deeds. All the best, Andrea.

Id like to think when I go ill go with joy and a smile on my face, we should never let ourselves be in a position where we have regrets. Tom
