Puzzlement

To whom shall I say my last goodbye?
To the shining sun or to the shady sky

**

To whom shall I say my last goodbye?
To the lost happiness or to the last cry

**

To whom shall I say my last goodbye?
To the tough person or to the tearful eye

 **

To whom shall I say my last goodbye?
To the former failure or to the first try

**

To whom shall I say my last goodbye?
To the right answer or to the wrong reply

**

To whom shall I say my last goodbye?
To the unstoppable what, when, how or why

***

Very very nice Black. I like it. I think we might have some common something... feel it but can't find the word.

Thank you, Howard... since we are supposed to be poets or "soupers" then we have lots of common things :) haha.

Blackmatta, I love this line, to whom shall I say my last goodbye? for in reality most people die alone ( I work in health care so I know this to be true ) a perfect 7 rating for me with this deep poem and thanks for visiting my poem, death whispers . . .
