Smile when facing death (Poem)

Smile when facing death It seems today it can still be forced, can death Terminal Illness talking away life’s very last breath If this happens to you then try hard not to frown Try hard not to drag others sadly too feeling down Death would happen in time of this please be sure But for many folk like me there is sadly no cure Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis it is terminal for many 130 years ongoing and still no cure not any Government say terminal is six months or less Adding to anxiety causing greater again distress But there are many countless folk prepared to give aid To you, family and loved one’s the path is well laid Think on them solely spend time making smiles Give them each a reason over life’s final miles Death has been faced by uncountable others Know this and smile for family sister’s brothers Give your children a very good reason to laugh Rather than drown in your deaths after math Make each of your family and friends ever smile Making it a comfortable and memorable last mile I know there will be days you will smile and frown Days that your tears will indeed let you down But remember at heart you don’t face this alone Family and friends face this too on their own I’m just a normal man typing this with one finger Trying to inspire hope that will maybe help or linger Maybe help those facing this, the untold many others Bringing a smile to families fathers and mothers It is braver to face death with a broad beaming smile Leaving memories to linger and cherish all the while I know it’s not easy for indeed I faced this myself too Hence the sole reason I write this to each one of you Pen name Christopher Robin Copyright Registration TXu 1-598-108
