Off My Bucket List

Listen to poem:

I went through a phase where I read a lot about life after death. I always felt that it would be an honor to one day help some elderly person cross over to the other side. I envisioned it as something in a faraway future. And then suddenly the future showed up at my door. It was ready and I not so much. it was his time he needed me i had to let go AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on November 20, 2020 for contest WHAT HAVE YOU KICKED OFF ON YOUR BUCKET LIST sponsored by CHANTELLE ANNE COOKE - RANKED 2ND

In the Bible, a verse I draw appreciation from is that "God collects our tears" Isn't that beautiful. He knows each tear, as He knows the number of hairs on. your head Shows he knows each of us, and remember God does not take our loved ones from us. Death is his enemy too .

You were in the right place at the right time for your beloved Dennis. He needed you and you were there to bid him farewell and wave to him from the shore as his ship set sail. This is love in its most beautiful and deepest sense. Thank you for sharing this, dear Line.

Sometimes we let go out of love.. Love is liberating.. The one we loved needs to be liberated to walk a path different of ours.. We also are liberated and enabled to regain peace and harmony within our souls.. So true! So wonderful! So spiritual! A great pleasure to read! My warmest wishes. Regards and blessings.
