The Last Sounds



In the midst of a person’s demise….
People shed tears and become anxious about the coming event meant to open our eyes.
That life is not permanent nor is it meant to last…
And it’s rather time to reflect on things of the past…
So our hearts and minds are clear…
The things I choose in that moment are peace, joy and to hear laughter from my kids and grandkids in the distant near.
For my kids and grandkids are the main reason I fought to stay.
What are the last sounds you choose for your final day?
