At One Time We Were Here Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello
At One Time We Were Here
In all things it is good to give thanks,
For everything works out for our good.
Loss and grief teach us to understand
Death is a reality, to accept it, we should.
We do not thank the passing but the moment in time
When we shared of the person's blessing,
His laughter and company, many things we find
That touched us and made his life worth living.
In trials and tests we learn to be strong,
Steadfast in Faith and humbled in character,
From many experiences we learn Right from Wrong,
And with tears and struggles we have become better.
When Life's sunset bids us close with goodbyes
We learn to be gracious, be thankful with cheer,
We can't hold back Time nor postpone our demise-
Still we are happy at one time we were...here.

'When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live in a such a manner than when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.'

For we can't hold back Time nor postpone our demise- But still we are happy at one time we were...here amazingly inspiring, an outstanding piece of work.
Thank you Thomas A Robinson fro reading and leaving a comment. The poem is about learning from Life, and appreciating the people who became part of our lives as well. That would always be family: parents, brothers and sisters. While no life is perfect and free of suffering (and conflict) we still find so much to be thankful for, and so many lessons that helped us to live better and happier. It is not how many years we have lived, but how well we lived our years. I know I gave my best and I am content to meet my rest (that rhymes!)
