Death

God Smiling at Me

October 22, 2004

in Death,Relationships

I’ve found a place
where I can be free.
I’ve found a whole new beginning
just made for me.

I know only peace
and I never feel pain.
Days are full of sunshine
and never the rain.

I’m no longer old,
I’ve recovered my youth,
And all of my dreams
have become the truth.

I can smile. I can laugh.
I can walk. I can run.
I can hear every whisper.
I can see past the sun.

My body is whole
and my mind is clear.
I know all the answers
and I’m free of all fear.

I know why you mourn me,
I see how you weep.
Your heart’s full of aching
from a love that is deep.

And I’m grateful for loved ones
who hold me so dear,
But remember,
I’ve found a better place here.

I will be there beside you
always nearby,
So don’t mourn me too long,
nor forever cry.

And whenever your sorrow
bears down on your heart,
Think not of my ending,
but of my new start.

For on earth there’s no joy
that I’d ever see,
To compare to the joy
of God smiling at me.

The Translator

October 24, 1999

in Death,Poems-Stories

There are times
I fool myself
into thinking God doesn’t hear me,
that He doesn’t understand
my words of prayer.

There are times I believe
God’s too busy,
that while my needs
concern Me,
there are more pressing demands
on His attention.

I know there is a Heaven.
I know there are Angels
who intercede on our behalf.
Can there be any doubt
that Heaven has a new Angel?

For if God had a job open
for a man who would listen
to Our prayers,
to Our needs,
who could understand all languages
of the heart and mind…
wouldn’t Papi be
The Perfect Man for the Job?

Now when I lay me down to sleep,
And I pray the Lord my Soul to keep,
I know there is one special man
who’ll also hear my words,
and help me translate my Love
into God’s Good Work.

For Raffaele Bisconti, my father-in-law, October 24, 1999, whose last career was as a senior simultaneous translator Italin-English for several U.S. Presidents and numerous other executives and officials… and a great tennis player!

What is Death?

Death. It is an act of life. Death is a part of the circle of life. We do not fear winter, even though we do not celebrate its coming the same way we celebrate the spring. Winter is a time of death. The world seems to lose its vitality. The days are short, the trees [...]
