Our Wise Elders

Our Wise Elders Near it's end, the elderly hear it's soft call. As when listening to a seashell. Mysterious, it invites them to life's welcome end. They seem to know God is waiting just for them. Just there beyond there, the floral gardened bend. Fearless, quietly they go, With joy, we bid them adieu. For we know, how we loved them so deep and true! November 20, 2019

What a great way to leave! In peace, no fighting the inevtiable! And an eternal life with God, in His world. Panagiota

You can choose it for yourself when you get older.. I just admire the peace they have...I don't know what they hear. Just as I said to Gershon, love those about you..,,Thd last place I want to die is in a hospital. Prefer to be watching the sunrise at home .and letting go. Want no tubes down my throat, crazy Rx...just to go in happiness and serenity. There is a life eternal after this. ))). Panagiota I was a student nurse at Loyola U...then became a teacher on 55th Street. Some rough years, they were! Life is heaven compared to those days. Love CA! Panagiota

Hello Gershon...For some, it is this peaceful. Hope its that way for many. I have seen it...happen. Just love the elderly you know. Love all you know. Panagiota
