Requiem
Once I leave this mortal coil
remember me as I am,
both the good and bad.
Between them they made me
who I was during my life.
Life's experiences
were so valuable.
Carving my path
teaching me peace
and contentment with life.
Read, savour and enjoy
my various poems, through them
get just a hint of who and what
I once was. For as famously said
the written word lives on.
Mourn me not for I still exist
in people's thoughts as they
turn my pages. Blessing to
all you my friends. Never
fear the end there is none.
Death is but a new beginning
so embrace it with both arms
and step forward boldly.
Your destiny lies ahead.
