Wave Goodbye

Another friend has made his way to where I cannot go. The light is on, but no one's home. God put him in the show. You ask God why. Do people die. But just have to wave goodbye.

Revisiting this sad one. But it was one that I really enjoyed reading.

so true....but we all have that journey to face I believe in eternity on the other side and am curious what is there.

I guess we die to make room for more but nobody wants to be next. A thoughtful verse Robert

hmmm, i take it you are on the bad side of 50?? I started making this kind of poetry a few years before hitting that crappy age! Seeing so many people getting sick or dying after 50.It's a real bummer!
