So Raven came, once more to me
and whispered softly and gently
he told me hold your head up high
but I shrugged shoulders with a sigh
he didn't need to say much more
my tears were flooding
broken heart raw
It's time, he said
It's time to see
what life and death does really mean?
for those who've passed won't want you sad
they want you to look
back on love
not all that's bad
be glad that once your souls did touch
as death does come, does come and much
yet those of us who've
been left to cry
tears of pain, one day will dry
perhaps no rainbows nor angels fly
yet pain that eases pain gone by
and if such grief does never pass
remember, death’s on each soul’s compass.

good write my friend
A most lovely poem my friend. It speaks of death's separation from those we love and care about but it is only that a separation and if they did love us they would not want us to be sad but to think of all the good times had. I love your rhyming craftmanship in this work Teddy. It rolls off the tongue. It sends its message well. I never could understand people's fear of death, in that it is a natural process like birth, happening to all. It takes pain away from the one that dies and in that way is merciful. As you have mentioned the separation may be sad but why not focus on the moments we shared. Lovely and a fave
Beautiful write Shirley. I agree with it too. Those we've lost wouldn't want to see us sad.

Sometimes dear. Syd, I wish I could practice what I preach 💜 thank you great friend. 🌹
Raven talks like a worn-down priest, no heaven to sell—just truth you can carry.
Grief ain’t softened here, just faced head-on, like weather you learn to walk through. Beautiful work, sweet Teddy.
You calling me a priest? 🤣 Yes I agree it's not always sunshine and roses thank you dearest Thomas. 🌹
