Notes About The Poem

We took a small sample of his favorite liquore (from Calabria) so he could have some pleasure at the hospital before the morphine took over. For anyone interested, it's available in North America in Toronto. If I am dying, please serve champagne and celebrate my life.

reaction to a death

At hospice my relative died
Let's rejoice the choices he tried
We could celebrate
His life that was great
But you continually cried

Yes, that is correct. I am a little selfish in this one. I knew it when I wrote it and am glad you noticed and pointed out as did Tom below. We all cried a lot, including yours truly.
