Not a Goodbye

Life begins
As it also ends
Most of it defined
By our family and friends.
Where we have traveled
Where we have been
Our journey
Around the world and back again.
Our spirit
And our soul
All those puzzle pieces
That make us whole.
We reach, we stretch
To reach our goal
As this world spins
In and out of control.
What we want
What we see
Cannot be reached
And is not meant to be.
So I will sit on my front porch
Watch the world rush by
For when my time comes
I'll say "see you later", not goodbye.
(c)2012 T.LaFountain

Lovely thought, Tim. My Uncle Joe, who was a true cowboy, had an auctioneer perform his funeral service grave-side: "We're here to say goodbye to Joe. Adios, Joe!" That was it - everyone went home.

I always love to see a 'notification from redwolftimes' in my e-mail box!!!

I disagree "Most of it defined
By our family and friends."
but agree with the rest--beautiful as always!!

When are you going to submit your poetry professionally?? Hey I just got a royalty check for $4.93 for a book I published 6 years ago--and mybloggers hasn't paid me anything!!!
