What a beautiful and uplifting poem. My condolences for the loss of your sister! I think you have captured well the positivity that is conferred by the thoughts that all those who we lost are reunited in a better place. I wish you all the best for the contest.

We die but once and after mortality the only pain we may experience is what we failed to do while here
Comment from Debbie Pope
I feel pain, acceptance, and hope in your heartfelt words. I, too, am of the age where people and things that I love are moving on. Although you mention our loneliness increasing, you cling to hope that soon you will no longer feel isolated or pain. It ends on a hopeful note.
Well done. You could have entered this in a faith contest as well. Your faith is what comes through the most.

Thank you

A positive poem about death. At my age there are more dead family and friends, I will be glad to be reunited with those that have gone before. The rhymes gave your poem a lighter touch, which gave it good tone.

Touche! Birthdays, like Kix, are for kids. For seniors, it's wakening with another ache.

Thanks. I'm fine. Cold blooded as a rattler. Death is a moment in time where one life ends, and another begins. Better. For with it will never come death again, and the pains we experienced will be g o n e!
Comment from Regina Elliott
Hi Tom,
This is quite a masterpiece
poem. I'm so sorry about
your sister, yet, like you've
written, she's no longer in
pain, and has no sickness in
Heaven. My late husband had
a sudden and unexpected
passing away from a
pulmonary embolism two and
a half years ago. Blessings ~

We with faith have hope. If wrong, we are no worse off than the atheist. Be well.
Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
Please accept my sympathy. I know that is no help, but saying nothing is worse. I hope you will find ease in writing about your sister's life from time to time when the time is right. In the meantime, this is a fitting poem for her release from suffering. Blessings, Kate xx

I have a unique perspective on death. I am glad she has passed on. Life is a seat at a dinner table, and soon enough the meal is over. After, we will die no more. That's a time to celebrate. Thanks for your thoughts.

Tom, please accept my condolences on the loss of your sister. I am so sorry to hear this news. Yes, the pain remains for those left behind - but she is welcomed with cheers, and as you say, she is free from pain, physical and emotional. Thoughtfully written, and thought-provoking.
