Nearing My End …[ Passing Time While "Passing Away"; Response To John A' Hern's P H Poem "Innocent Email" ]

Rating: 5.0


I do so hope my worldly belongings will be but few ….
when it's MY time to pass from this world; ‘tis true.
Now, not sure when my "end" will come, I'm nearly …
at the "few" mark.I'm "ready" to go NOW, …clearly!

BUT if I can, physically and mentally close out my time …
as I wish, it will be with ice cream in a dish, & with rhyme.
Yes, I'll miss my ‘poet' friendswhen I'm again ‘dust'.
Yes, I'd say farewell with rhyme, and ice cream IS a must! !

We will all pass in time. This is the exit of life's journey. As improbabilities we exist., so lucky to have had a life for our time.

Well if die we must then I can't but wonder if your dust will travel to England and give me a hello but ice cream sound delish make mine run n raisin Life and death are with us though I hope you'll stay a bit longer. life is our joy to die our curse but who wants to live forever not I. Great poem loved it thanks for sharing and making me laugh. Any ho don't shuffle of your mortal coil just yet too many poems yet to write.

Yes don't die on us there's nobody the king of humour and limericks here as you. We need you to have a laugh, smile and giggle in stressful life so never stop writing until the pen falls. Our words outlast us so that's a consolation when I think anyone can pass on at any age. Thumbs up.

Hi Bri, I cannot imagine Poem Hunter without Bri Edwards, the great poet of the century. Please for heaven's sake, do not prepare to leave so soon. Like Valsa says, you have to be around for another three decades more! ! ! Live to be a 100. Okay! Tell me, when should i make a trip to U.S. to eat ice cream with you? ? ? ......10.....: :) :)

When you exit out of the show, the poets here will definitely miss you! If you let us know when it will happen, we will bring you several cartons of ice cream before the final farewell comes! ........Who said you are nearing your end! May you live for another two more decades!
