Poem -
Giving Up The Ghost.
Throughout life facing so many challenges and dilemmas,
Your mind can race tackling more than any one remembers.
Learning, carrying your weighty load along a favoured path,
It is at the climax of existence you understand true worth.
To friends and family, you are more than they ever need,
Knowing you as a treasured manuscript they lovingly read.
Making a difference to many, immersed in a frenetic world,
You understand in death what's crucial without being told.
It was about living as though every day was to be your last,
So on giving up the ghost there are no regrets at what's passed.

Hey Richard....We sure should live as if everyday is our last because one day it would definitely be the last....we ain't going to live on this side forever...the least we could do is make a difference while we are still here and still can....enjoyed every word in every line and the rhyming is lovely
Lots of love....Rose

Richard this brought up so many emotions for me I'm not sure what to say. It is beautiful and so stirring. I am reminded of someone, who was terminally ill, but they hid it from everyone because they wanted every minute to be one of happiness. When they passed it was a shock to everyone, but we had warm memories to hold us. When we stop running from or hiding from the inevitability of death... we truly begin to live. Thank you for the reminder.
Hugs and Blessings, Rebecca
