[hometext] => While reflecting on undergoing major surgery, I wrote this thinking "what if I die?"
[bodytext] => I was just set free today I am now going on my way Even though I had many reasons to stay It really just isn’t for me to say Many things in my life Caused me much grief and strife But for my son and wife I know this cuts them like a knife Now it’s easy to see The constraints that once held me Like the shores of the sea Keeping the waters from being free But as a dyke that has just burst Quenching the water’s innate thirst To be freed onto new land first And its pressures now dispersed But something tells me not to go For on the other side I do not know But as a leave on the winds do blow You cannot hold on to your soul Our requests are now denied When it’s time there’s nowhere to hide I have now passed to the other side Yes you guessed it…I have died [comments] => 1 [counter] => 153 [topic] => 21 [informant] => bigabb [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
