song in my absence

 ~I am grateful and welcoming of what ‘life’ has afforded me.
The love ‘Mamasita’ gave to me and my six other siblings, as a
single parent, with minimal sustenance but kept our bellies sated
while sustaining us with health of body and most important of
mental health, providing the fortune of longevity in a world now,
of exponential challenges to thrive.

On these days, in my latter years of age, where my body can no
longer amble without restrictions, without pain, of which it is the
common setting of my peers, yet we have had the fortunes of
witnessing the pleasure and joy, and also sadden tears, through
all of life’s wonder in the hours of days, weeks in months and years  

And as my breath begins to mimic the spirit of the Universe in these
my latter years, fear is not the main ingredient of my departure from
this mundane sojourn, they’re wish and hopes that in the absence of

my being here on earth, there will be songs sung and feet dancing,
words read of those I’ve written to poetry and prose, accompanied
by mellifluous vibrations of Nature’s voice~
