The last ticket.

So you’re had
a heart attack
reaching
the final frontier.
Is this the end
or just another
hurdle to jump over
on entering
the new dimension.
Let us know,
for our time is
still ticking over.

People my age (to be 65 in July) have been posting a mountain of poetry about aging & dying. It seems to be an obsession around here. I feel more like how your poem puts it . . . tell me how all that downhearted demise stuff goes for you, pal, becuz I'm going to continue living until I die (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thanks Margie, I suppose it is the last leg of our journey hence the obsession for some even me. I was made all too aware when my Dad died at 71 and the chances are more in favour of following in his footsteps when heart disease runs in the family. Life’s end is a b***h.

What's getting scary is that friends younger than me have started kicking the old-age bucket . . . I'll be 65 in July! Surely it'll be my turn soon!

I’m 62 this year and my work are really sticking the knives in me at the moment. You’re young at heart so you will be ok Margie besides only the good die young;)

Coming from a guy who had two near death expirebces I enjoyed this poem. As long as we live we need to live life to the fullest for tomorrow is not a given.

yeah! funny how that works Andrew! for all those who have had that ticket punched ... none but one has returned to let us know anything about it at all .. that would be Jesus Christ if one is to believe all the reports .. dead three days and self Resurrected ...1 Corinthians 15:55 "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" .. love your musings sir .. always bits of humor and/or wisdom

Andrew... we are "faint of Heart"; however our
Soul is more Joyful than ever. Touched each day
with the Beauty of Earth and Sky and the gentle
flight of Bumble Bees... that tease our sense of
Serendipity. Be Brave and Savor the Aroma of
Lavender and Mint. truly, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

Of course live the life you are given. Thank yo7 Pat.
