This poem reminds me of Euthanasia, or right to leave via death of ones choosing. A controversy that will endure ...?

Intriguing Epitaph, Harry. We never know how we'll go. In my sleep is my preference. Thanks for sharing your poetry with us, Bill

I really get this one, Harry. Love it. I wish you could see the inspiring movie I saw today Remembering Heaven. Truly our life here is but a blink of the eye compared to all of eternity, and we will be so glad to be back in our real "home."

Your prayer is a good one, that the Lord will ease the dying. I pray amen with your prayer Harry. There is too much of it going on, especially for all who succumb to those of wrongful hands. Have mercy dear Lord. God bless you with peace, I pray the same for all hearts, the peace of God.
