Even in our After...

We all want to leave a mark

on this planet, before  and after

we depart.

Even if it's just something for

our kids, family, friends whoever

means the most to us.

We want to be remembered for good

times. more than the bad.

Something that made them smile,

happy, or they learnt from us, that

is practical and helpful, during their

remaining times on this earth.

I guess that is why we have graveyards.

So we can still visit loved ones.

And find comfort and love.

Let alone share moments to talk to them

still, and place some flowers and toys.

That they cherished and loved.

The views from the graveyard my mother

in law is laid to rest. Is so picture perfect.

As well as peaceful and tranquil in general.

When you go there. You feel as thou, Your

in another place. Giving you time to reflect

and share golden moments with your loved one.

My own parents got cremated. And placed under

a sapling ( a young tree). To grow and

mature with age. Back home where I come from.

I guess even our resting place. Can give us comfort

and peace. Knowing our loved ones left. Can visit

us and share time with us.  Even in our afterlife.

Even in death,

we are still here,

if not physically

but spiritually.

We hear you

talk to us,

We feel you

presences,

And undying

love for us.

Beyond time

and place

We are together

forever.

No one can ever

take that from us.

This is a great message to remind us of! Making a difference is very important. I once made a poem about "dying twice" once in life and once in memory. The eworst of the two would be to die in memory. Thank you for sharing a topic such as this! I enjoy your poems very much!!!
