My book of days

When i cease to be

It is my hope that none shall cry

But instead fill thier heads with all the joys and dreams

That happened to be owned by me

 

I pray everyone who loved me

Will prosper and love and learn

Take what the world has to offer

And give back times two in return

 

That my children will know the value

of do-it-yourself and sweat

But also the joy of song

The purr of a loving pet

the warmness of a true love

And children of thier own

 

I wish for heaven

And a painless death

but wishes aren't my master

If i should be tortured and go to hell

I just hope time will pass a little faster

 

If Heaven I do approach

My spirit will be overjoyed

And I shall dwell in His house forever

And not think again of the void

 

My days have been filled with laughter

Abnomal circumstances, and glum cold days

And though i know nothing forever stays

I could of lived happy ever after

 

Because the good out wieghed the bad

And I helped who I could

I tried and failed at times

But did my best to be good

 

And for it all I was blessed

To wander many years

With wonder for the planet Earth

And very minimal fears

 

in my Book of Days

If given the stamp of aproval

I'll look back with out a regret

Because all the time spent was worth it

That was marvelous! the ending went out softly,it left you hanging softly,gently thinking of the poem's message!nice

This is really good, it has that nice evening flow to it. All we can do in life is try to be good or try not to be bad or embrace them both. Looking back over your life and not having any regrets is a good thing. I hope you live for a very long time.
