Was 2016 a Bad Year
Someone said 2016 was a bad year as well known people were dying.
Of course, a lot of not well known people did as well.
In the wars we are experiencing and of terrorists actions.
When I overheard somebody say 2016 was a bad year.
I wondered why!
It does not matter who you are.
No-one like me! Or a film/pop star!
When death calls on you just so!
You cannot stop it, oh no, no.
I know doctors can repair bad parts. Like livers, kidneys, even hearts.
And they can sometimes revive you. As that’s what God meant them to do.
I think that’s when He makes a mistake. Calls you before your due time.
As when I thought I would go. He seemed to say, ‘Hmm not this time so...’
I know not why, he passed me by. I try to be good, I really try.
But as I am mortal like you I see. I guess another chance, he gave me.
So when it is my turn to go. Please don’t all be sad you know.
As Paradise is a lovely place, quiet, calm and full of grace.
So cry not, be pleased for me. Be happy, although me, you cannot see.
I can watch over what you do. As that’s what I hear spirits can do.
So when a name appears just here.
It’s in a book up there, I hear.
So worry not for who do now go.
They are cared for up there, they are just so.
