A Perfectly Reasonable Question
When I am no more and gone
Who will tend or mourn the space
I leave behind if anyone
?

One said 'Live so as to be missed' (when you're gone, that is). I can't seem to find who said it originally. Maybe it was you - yes?!
But - aww - why will they all tend the space when I'm gone? Cos they'll be rid of my singing. heehee.
thank you for viewing this in such a kind light..... Neville
Awww many i am sure.
And a perfectly poised question too 🦋
A nice thought... Cheers...
All those will who knew the effect another's life had upon their own welfare..... hope this answers that solemn question a little bit - - thanks for posing it on behalf of us all Nev.
I have begun to consider such things recently.... as I imagine most might do every now and again.... Thank you Fay for your view...... N
Question Neville "Will it need tending?" Mine won't that's for sure. Mourning? well i should think that depends upon who's the mournful type.
Great compact piece throwing out questions which each 'type' of reader will receieve and respond to
in their own 'typical' manner. Be interesting to see how that pans out here.
Good one.
thank you DA
When I am dead and gone
the space I occupy
will with me be withdrawn.
Great shorty Neville.
Thank you kindly Michael..
Plenty for sure. But a valid question nonetheless
thank you ... N
That space will be filled with your Spirit for the rest of us to honour and remember in awe.
Cheers & bloomin thanks my friend...
The space you temporarily occupied will continue to be occupied, thus, be comforted, for it shall be always tended.
Since one only exists as memorialized by others, be comforted, for the memory of you shall such continue.
Therefore, the space n time that is you, is n will forever thus remain.
thank you for such an encouraging response to the question raised here my friend... I must confess since being orphaned, I have begun to consider my own mortality and whereas I have no fear of dying or moving on... I like to think those I leave behind might have something positive to say about me...... N
