Your poem is sad, but true. We do not know when our time will be up.

Good job & best wishes as your journey continues.

Sorry for your loss. Jan

    Thanks Jan, appreciate your lovely review. I mention Dear Aunty Lorna more in my Autobiography which is up for some more reviewing seeing I edited a lot of it. Been battling with Grammarly. Even when you set it up for British English it still stuffs up on some words...Jackie Franklin warned me about Grammarly messing up on Comma's too. Thanks again.

Hey Geoff(((((((((((... sorry to hear of your and your family's loss mate... doesn't really matter about if it's a good innings or not... the thing of that last of the last in a family line puts a real feeling of finalization. I hear your words... and if it takes a loss to initiate the time to 'get things in order' with one's heart than so be it.

To say thanks for sharing this poem and your loss doesn't quite sound right... but I'm glad your friends and fans can at least share your loss in some way... so thanks for that!

RIP Aunty Lorna!

With our thoughts we create,
the mindset to be the best version of ourselves.
James.

    Thanks mate. I have a feeling you just missed out on a reward for your review. But much appreciated anyway. I am currently , once again working on another review of my Autobiography. I went through it with Grammarly to then be informed that Grammarly was OFF on Comma's so now going through again and making up my own mind about the Comma's, hehe, Cheers.

Hey Geoff,
So sorry when I got this news on facebook my friend.
In reading this I stumbled on this line, seems something is missing,

"We will away....so" Yours, suggestions below?

"We too will pass...so" OR
"We will leave...so" OR
"We will go away...so"
I hope all is well with you and Louise, I've let this membership slide so I can follow your posts but can't post my work now. It just got frustrating spending $10 a chapter and stayed buried on page 3 for 3-4 reviews.

Ron

    Hi Bro can send you a free link to my stuff if you want. I may be gone pretty soon after July myself. So much WRONG with this place. I should write this privately as all reviews and comments are public. A couple of yanks and rebels have suggested as you have but most understand where I am coming from with my expression ok! FS will cost me too much to keep it going past July unless the Green back has a "Cerebral haemmorhoid"(remember that one...MINE!) Like it did a while ago and our dollar was better than youers for a very short time. I guess greenback will recover now Trump is at the helm, huh! Lord Bless.

The loss of a loved one is a tragic occurrence. You have expressed well the depth of sorrow you feel. Your statement that we do not know when our time will come is totally accurate. Enjoy them while they're here. Cowboy

Do sorry for your loss. My half brother also passed away recently. He had a long life but we never really want to go. We just accept that we must. I have your book and will be sending it after payday.

    Thanks, forget if bro or Sis,sadly pretty sure Aunty not saved.
reply by Irish Rain on 24-Jan-2017
    I believe she's still with God...
reply by the author on 24-Jan-2017
    Well I hope you are right. But we are not all going to Heaven, sorry. I know certain ones claim we all are but sadly not true. There is a very real Hell and it is not on earth.
reply by Irish Rain on 24-Jan-2017
    but we can never truly know what's in another persons heart, even at the last minute...hopefully Christ was in your Aunts heart
reply by the author on 25-Jan-2017
    I agree and maybe she called out to the Lord at the last minute, Have you seen my poem where I have a real go at the Seven Sacraments of Rome? None of Rome's hokey pokey can save anyone.

Such a sad story in this poem my friend, so sorry to hear about your loss. Good job of telling your story in a very few amount of words. I pray Gods' blessings on you, and family. Good words on telling of how we all need to always be ready to meet the master.

    Thanks, Bro Roy, appreciate you coming by, and your lovely comments. I did spend a lot of time with Aunty Lorna when I was quite young.
