Wished Only To Be Merry

Yes, thank God, I am fine despite certain health problems but nothing serious! We have to think of others for the others provide us the means to become what we wish to be! Thank you my friend, Michael for taking that much of your time to visit my poems!

So true! Thank you Andrea!

Paul, my good friend and neighbor, your visits always a delight! As you know whatever we are in life we owe it to society: One cannot be a teacher if he has not students. A doctor if he has no patients. A general if he has no soldiers and so on. We have to contribute to society for society has offered us the chance to become what we wished and we have to contribute to the coming generations for them also to have a chance to become what they wish to be. Thank you, dear Paul for your lovely comment! I appreciate it.

Well, Alexis, my dear friend, it was his choice! I respect that but, as Solon, an ancient Greek philosopher and sage, 7th-6th century BC, said " We cannot call someone happy before we see the way his life end!" For us sad but who knows what he thought. Myself believe that it is a tragedy to die alone and when one's life ends in tragedy, no matter how much a good time he had before, his life leaves him with a bitter taste! Thank you!

Welcome our new friend, L.L. Wish you the best within our poetic family! thank you for visiting!

Welcome my new friend, Michael! Hope you be happy with our poetic family! Life, as you know, my dear friend, is an endless conflict, between joy and sorrow, good and evil, pain and pleasure, life and death, therefore it has its place even in a limerick. Here comedy mingles with tragedy, both of them Greek words, one meaning singing joyous (funny) songs, the other is an ode to a sad event! It may appear innovative but life doesn't think the same. Thank you very much for your gracious visit and constructive comment. Greatly appreciated!

You are right dear WS. Remember my comment about the use of words and the application of them upon our actions! Thank you for your analysis!

- Many times ...... and it is so sad

I think dearest Anne-Lise, because of your profession you might have witnessed such tragic events. I think it is something that would never wish even to my enemy! Thank you dearest! Hugs!

I think, it matters very much for he will leave with the feeling of emptiness since none will be there to hold his hand. Anyway is just a Limeric, Dr. Upma, but with a strong message. Thank you so much for your gracious visit!
