Heaven Is Never Saying Goodbye
by Susan Q TomasMust we go, must there be an end of life?
Leave behind heartbroken children and wife?
(And escape my pain, my struggles, my strife?)
The answer's to long to be written or said,
and to complicated to fit in my head.
(But at some point in life we've all wished to be dead.)
Heaven is not here, to go, we must die.
earthly life spent in a blink of an eye
(and leave behind loves ones, who cry out "why?")
08/02/2006 Author's Note: Interestingly, this came to me in a dream. I dreamt I was with my Dad, although I never got a fix on his face, it was definitely him. I was asking him questions, and he was answering them. About why we must die. And what he was saying was quite poetic, so I was scrambling around the room looking for a writing utensil and some paper. Hard to find, but I found a newspaper, then a pencil, but it was broken. Then a felt pen, and I started writing what he said, but then realized I set it on a wet table and the water seeped through and made the ink swell and blur.
When I awoke, I tried my best to write what I could remember, and pathetically filled in the holes.
When someone you love dies, people often cry out "why?" Sometimes they don't really want the answer. My Dad died August 5th, 1997, so I am at peace enough with it to ask why, and try to understand the answer.

That's something I can't anwser either. Another than it's part of the life cycle. It's sad, but your right life can be really short. One minute we're here and then we're not.
I heard this from someone. At first i thought how odd and strange and how could they. But, it really does makes sense, if one stops and thinks about. I kinda like the thought of it now.
When we lose someone, we love dearly thru death.
Instead of all the crying at the funeral, we should celebrate their life. I know your pain and hurt, I too have been thru this this year. My Dad passed away in Feb 21, 07 on Mom's birthday. Last year my Mom on Nov. 17, o6, the friday before Thanksgiving Day.
Lots of hugs and your in my prayers. |
