Comment from Sally Law
My, how sweet and deep this is! Excellent work and filled with wisdom that comes, hopefully, with age. My mother-in-law just passed away in my care last week. She had lived with my husband and I for over four years. She did not want to go. I, however, hold my life loosely and know each day here is a gift. Mortal life is temporary and the spirit-- eternal. That's my view, as I see heaven as my eternal home!
All my best,
Sally

Beautiful and thoughtful look at what we don't want, but know is inevitable. As we age we have a tendency to think of these things more which is appropriate I guess. You've done a nice job with your vision.

Comment from JLC EmeraldRiver
A very fine, touching poem, my friend. It expresses the reflection on life and the rewarding journey it's been. Each line is well crafted for the piece, as together they all capture the balance between life and death, and how the long, enduring road finally meets the horizon. Life is riddled with many things: learning and success, failure and experience. Your poems seem to epitomize the myriad factors of living, as they all tell such emotive stories with many wonderful meanings interwoven into each one. Your works have touched me like no other, and I am gratified to know you. The rhyme scheme for this poem was nicely composed, with a few charming touches of internal rhyme. Well done.

Hello Jaybird1,
Glad to hear that you're not planning on leaving any time soon. :)
This poem is lovely in its simplicity. Your title pretty much says it all ... "Going Home". You are mentally prepared for it. I especially liked "There comes an ever gentle tap" ... soooo sweet! "Preparing for lifes final lap" ... lifes ... life's.
I can't believe that you are still writing such brilliant poetry. I hope that I am as sharp as you are if I make it to ninety plus years.
Thanks for sharing your excellent poem, Jaybird1.

Comment from joannakruk
A lovely poem that sounds like the subject is preparing for the last few moments of life. I am happy that this is rectified in the notes as not being the case. The poem exudes a sense of acceptance towards the upcoming journey, a state of peace about the inevitable.
A calming creation.
Well done.

Comment from nancyjam
Well crafted poem with strong rhyme and meter.
The speaker is near his end and asks to be
remembered well.
He is accepting of death and doesn't appear to regret
anything.
