Living Eulogy (Heart In Hand)

An appreciation, a reminder and a revelation.

 

To those have blessed me with love

         Of the blessed family kind,

                  Unconditional friendship,

                           Or of an intimate nature…

 

I write this living eulogy for the purpose

Of letting all those that have touched my life

That I appreciate your generosity in loving me;

Also as a reminder to myself of how wonderful life I have

By knowing you all.

 

That is to include those I still have to meet

Before I earn my wings.

 

When they lay me to rest, please do not cry

Because I left this world;

I ask that you rejoice in the fact

That you all have enriched my time

In human form

With every gesture of kindness

         Shown to me,

And with any kind thought you had of me

Despite the man that I am/was.

 

For I know I was far from perfect,

But please know this,

I did the best I could with the knowledge

And emotions I possess.

 

As I part this world to hopefully

Take my place in heaven

I would like to leave you with one last gift,

It is not expensive nor fancy,

But it is sincerely from my heart…

 

         And that is my LOVE.

When we learn. We are not so important. What is important is the love shared and children at our feet. We have learn true wisdom. The lines above are true. We must be thankful for love given and received. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

What a wonderful thing to do. This is an exercise everyone should consider doing, I think, while they can.

This is such a lovely letter, we should always remember to appreciate those who care for us, those who believe in us and love us for who we are.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes we most certainly should but yend to forget to.

ahhhhhhhhhh, this was so amazing, I suppose I'll have to write my own after all too :( but if I did it would read exactly like this one.
