I WISH DEATH WOULD DIE

I wish that death would die..go away...leave me be with my family and  friends. I wish it to go quickly and quietly like too many of my friends have. Or perhaps it will go violently like a soldier or a son in the streets. How ever death dies, it won't be too soon. It won't be soon enough to take away the pain it has caused or to cover up the scars it has left.
Death is not final. Or at least I tell myself this to try to answer the whys and the hows in my mind and heart. I reconcile that those who have already succomb to it somehow live on...in us...in our children or perhaps in the wind...  a whisper...a song... 
I wish that death would die...or at least stay away a little bit longer...

About Me

Stone Mountain, GA, United States
I am first of all and most of all a mother of 4 wonderful kids and wife of 1 great husband. I am a native of New Orleans which I will always consider home. I currently live in Stone Mountain, Ga where I taught middle school students for 8 years. Teaching that age group proved to be very challenging and rewarding. However my current job as a Stay-at-Home-Mom is the most challenging endeavor I have ever undertaken. The rewards are immeasurable. I am artistic by nature. I love to dance, I can sing a little and I write when the opportunity presents itself. I am writing this blog because my favorite person in the other world , my Dad, who is now somewhere dancing with the ancestors, would always ask me what have you done creative lately because he knew someone like me needed to be creative in order to stay alive. Well Dad here I am in the blogosphere, blowing my creative breath as a way to stay and know that I am alive....and to let everyone else know that I am here. Whew!
