Hello all, I am new to this board and I am excited about finding a place, where i can post some of my original work; critique of my work would be taken in the same spirit as it is given and would be very much appreciated...
And here is my first:
A good man, he was...
It started to rain,
As if to wash away their pain,
For the loss of their loved one,
Who finished his journey, and now he is gone.
He is with the Angels,
No more earthly tangles,
Gone are the pain and suffering,
Now receiving the Heaven’s offering.
There he laid, as in sleep,
And I see and hear the family weep
I reflect on my own demise one day
As I cry for my friend this day
His body is finally committed to fire
One day I hope to see you where
There exists only eternity
And a place of absolute serenity
I will remember your joyful smile
Your willingness to go the extra mile
May your gentle soul rest in peace
As I say So long, with this piece
Dedicated to the memory of a dear, departed friend--1939-2007
Sept. 2007
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
