What Will You Yourself See Whence Your Life Flashes Before Your Very Own Eyes

In regards to contemplating life What do you yourself think you will see Flash before your very own eyes Supposedly if what they say is true That what actually happens and you see Just before you are about to die Personally just for me I hope and pray and trust It certainly isn't or will be The color of money Or any of the faces or heads That have ever appeared on them As I cannot miss what I never had Or placed no actual real true value in Otherwise I might as well have Never have been here Or been alive in the " 1st place " As I have gained nothing of worth Over my entire lifetime here To take with me Or memories to leave behind me And therefore also should in real terms Not nor never be Missed As after all what on earth did I or my life In actuality really stand for If all I actually loved and truly cared about was Money As money can't buy me love

I know lots of people with money Christopher, and seems to me the only thing that makes some of them happy, is their love of money, and reluctance to spend it, maybe they are saving it up to flash it before their eyes before they die, cheers David

Correct David Sir Die like everyone else. Can you only imagine if it's the wrong damn currency and there is no ATM or currency exchange. How cruel can death be They might have to then spend it with the rest of us poor peasants

So very , very true Darlene Thank you so much for your comment because it was well thought through and honest from the heart And it also made me ponder and think Like you just yourself said and quite correctly pointed out. There are 2 sides to every story Yin & Yang Good & Bad Everything is subjective apart from We come into the world with nothing And we leave with nothing
