That's realistic  to visualize one's own demise

You'll never get kicked from me, my friend, as long as it's all in pun....
er'....fun! That is a way cool tree. I hope I can keep up this momentum. Going tomorrow to look for a job on top of this business. God has given me a certain number of things to do and I can't die til they are done, so I figure I'm here forever cause I am so far behind. So you go first and leave your account to me, K? hahaha

If we also love trees, they will continue and remind others of our fruitful

and worthiness as guardians of God's Bounty

The day mu Dad had his stroke, that is 9 days before his passing, he told me all the plants and trees in the yard would live on after him. Your photos are great; lleave me a fewin my will and I will leave a few poems for you, in case I peg off sooner. Kick the proverbial bucket before you do. The only reason I want to remain here longer, is to become as near perfect a SERVANT LIKE CHRIST, our true role model and Beloved Protector. Shalom Brother Dunhill- Duntree -Dunham (Did I just get kicked for punning?)

Thank you one and all. I whole heartedly agree. Better to focus
on the present and give and receive the love while we are able than to concentrate on the what if's and what might be. Thanks for your kind comments. I saw you all there!

I think we all wonder
"who would miss me... who would attend my funeral?".  But what's more important is that we embrace and acknowledge the people who love us while we're alive.  So easy to skip from one day to the next without truly listening to those who love us (and returning the gift).

No matter how you flip the coin, you are going to experience both sides!

I have had dreams like that. I can remember them so vividly. It is a rather unsettling experience although I do not fear death!

Never shy away from death; worthy subject for poetry Dave. Jesus said His

dying was necessary to release His power fully; we are asked to be born again and baptised with the Spirit, to become truly children of God. The death of the old is the birth of the new ...Look to Jesus for the meanings in dying. (Glad all your friends showed up; did u see me there too?)

It has the rythym of an old Australian bush ballad...

why is it that we often till it is too late to profess our love to people?
Quite a poignant message. I sometimes wonder, would people notice me if I "disappeared". let us not waste opportunities to be kind to others.

Thanks Passionflower. I am thinking you may have endured some
of these same questions in your tumultous life? Aah, well, we go on as we must! Til that day we again become dust!

Quite unusual...but I enjoyed it.
It makes some very strong points. Good work.
