Dear death

Simple words on a Saturday morning

And when you come for me dear death
youll find not fearful tears,
as I have lived a love filled life
for nigh on four score years.
I was raised a child, raised my own
was loved, and have loved back,
have walked this world in honest shoes
along an honest track.
I've helped where help was needed most
without request or plea,
have shouldered tears, quelled their fears
as they have done for me.
So when you come for me dear death
please heed what I have said,
and as you catch my final breath
remember,
a good man dies but is never dead...

Wonderfully expressed poem, love the flow of words. The subject of death seems to make people fear what they do not know beyond the unknown. But I feel when the time comes we will understand the presence of hope beyond this life. ;-}

Wonderfully composed, Gee! I absolutely loved this one. Ahhh... Honestly, this one is truly an art. The way he is carefully telling how he has led a good life with morals and values is just awe-inspiring. Indeed, people with high morals and principles may physically be gone, but they always rest in the heart of those who remember. Thanks for sharing, Gee!

What a journey you take the reader on. A proud life full of warmth and wisdom. Being afraid doesn't exist and ready for whatever comes our way. All boxes checked and fulfilled. I really like it Gee. Nice job.

I think this is the best, when you live your life right and without regrets, you don't fear death. You've lived a good life and you can embrace death with a smile.
Brilliant piece, well done!!
