Your lovely thoughts
the flame for fame
has been now flamed
as I move along
the RIVER OF LIFE...

When I was young
every other day we heard
so and so had a brother
or new born sister
so many also came along with bouquets
as it were their young to arrive kid’s
Baby’s shower

Now as I move along the river much faster
every now and then I hear
of a natural inevitable disaster
so and so has passed away
it’s been the nth news these past months
buried away
and every time one passes away
I wonder if it's about my coming day
when I will not hear
but know ahead of life's way
Lovedly also has passed away

But till then let my flame stay
slowly smouldering away.

Yes not to worry and they will still say
No one will ever miss you I (we) say..

This poetry reveals an individual thought
may be,
but it's universal still
could it not be....
