Catching the flight home

Something that I really must do sometime......

I need to book my ticket
I should reserve a seat
I know I need to find the way
The departure lounge and meet
The people who can sign my form
And those that have the key
The ones who know the flight to take
To let my pain go free.

I need to see Saint Peter
And to find those Angels there
My penitence is nearly done
I’ve shown I really care.
My body now is ag-ed worn
My mind is truly tired
Please Lord, accept my heartfelt thanks
My life has now expired.

Author's Note

I wonder if the inflight music will be the '60's discs...I bet David Jacobs will be sitting on the Juke Box, and Jimmy Young will be trying to get a look in.

May we all have a smooth trip to the ever after. I love the description of yours. it's a flight we'll all have to take eventually. Nicely done Daffy.

[Daffy]

Have you read Samuel's idea of a slow boat cruise instead?

[icelandicblue]

no I have not but I will.

[Beccy]

Don't forget that suitcase of memories.

Lovely upbeat way, (as it should be,) of looking at that flight to Heaven.

Beccy.

[Daffy]

Thanks Beccy. There will be several suitcases of memories packed, and also my purse with one or two sweet and fond memories that I really treasure.

[Tomás Ó C..]

Nice twist... we will all be in that departure lounge in time!

[Woody]

oh how wonderfully expressed, Daffy. book the ticket and reserve a seat. I hope it won't be before you blew out your hundredth candle. so, for now, as Samuel said, put on your dancing shoes, Woman!

[Daffy]

my dear friend, I do hope so too! I am getting out there much more now, and am joining more social groups. Sharing and caring!

[Woody]

good to hear.

[Samuel Dickens]

Hey c'mon, you ain't ded yet! Put on your dancing shoes! Oh, I know. I'll be taking that mandatory trip, too, just like everyone else. Wouldn't an ocean vessel be slower?

[Daffy]

A very good point Samuel, we could take an outside cabin and eat at the captains table!

[Rita L. Sev]

What a great way to view this inevitable trip... Great write, Daffy!

[Daffy]

Thanks RIta, nice to hear from you.

[Vidya Bacchus]

This is an awesome write my lady Daffy.I would hope when we are called home we can do it with a clear conscience and as little regret as possible.

[Daffy]

Hi Vidya, thank you for this review. Yes, I must agree there. Lol Daffy

[Vidya Bacchus]

You are very welcome my lady.It has been too long since I have read your work .I hope all is well with you my friend :)

[Great Aunt Astri]

Ah! I wonder how many people say that, and then get a new lease of life! I like the rhyming format.

[Daffy]

Thank you. I wrote one, sometime ago, called Little Stephen, and he ended up in heaven with his dad, but his mother is still suffering. Funny what thoughts we have at 0230 when we suddenly awake.

[Great Aunt Astri]

That old subconscious is an amazing thing. Remember we only actually use a fraction of our brains!

[Daffy]

Isn't it amazing? What could we do if we taught ourselves to use a fraction more!
