Who Will Send Me Away

Final journey.


Who will send me away

When it is the time to stay

When comimg home will not be

When the body of me

Is laid to rest in it's final place

Will they wear fine lace

Will the ladies all embrace

Are tears to flow, yes or no

These things I will not know

Will there be many there

Who really don't care

When my soul will be

In the angel's dance

I will not care of the pomp

Or earthly circumstance

For then I will have had

All of my chances

Given the love of my life

All of my love and romances

Nurtured my children and theirs

Through all kinds of family affairs

If there will be anyone left

To share some fond memory of me

My soul will step livelier

In angelic dance

Who will lay me beneath

The lilies and daisies

The mighty oak tree

Who will send me away

Good question in a great poem. Are you talking to me? If you are, I will put forth my answer: It really doesn't matter. It's called, "Disposal," and how it's done and who with, are academic, My Good Man, . Within the past three years, I've lost a wife who had stopped believing, close relatives, and young friends who shouldn't have died. I no longer find comfort in religious teaching and promises. Therefore, I truly believe that our lives are like those of other animals, wonderful, and rewarding, to be lived as full and harmlessly as possible. Further, I am at all times, prepared to accept death as the end of it all. Bible-based man-made promises are just that, promises. The above is MY belief, and does not constitute a point of argument or discussion, and surely not an attempt to invite me into directions for the sake of my soul. I apologize if this shocks you in any way. - Bill

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
