"Now as I turn away"


Poem Artwork

Without Me

Where I was to be laid there lies another
A stranger in my grave next to my mother
I had to sell it to give what they gave me
To a rich liar who promised to save me
And now some unknown lies at my Grandpa's feet

The man I trusted to help me was a cheat
Some soulless conscienceless attorney
And he helped himself to what was left of me
So I travel light on this journey
The family plot filled up where I should be

Restless unburied rambler alive or dead
With an explanation why
I never had before
A good excuse not to die
But put to sea once more

I suppose it is I who am strange instead
Or so I feel today
And never mind eternity
Now as I turn away
May they rest in peace: without me

Understandaly sad if it is true~sounds believable.

I want my ashes scattered on a joyful zephyr over woodlands and river, Stevie. You can do the same, my friend. As Marguerite says, it's the soul that counts. Seems like were soul brothers so all should be well. Love you lots,

Regis

It matters not about the body--It's Heaven that should be desaired. The body is nought-the spirit forever. Marguerite

Your body may have no place to lie but your spirit has a place in Heaven with your loved ones.
God Bless,
Lew
