Death's Card Poem by JJ Evendon

A death card has been drawn
left feeling cold like an Arctic storm.
Can't say I'm particularly glad about this
no time for farewells or a goodbye kiss.
I've lived a fairly eventful life to some degree
never won the lottery - but that really doesn't bother me.
I've flown planes and written about the heavenly stars,
sailed, rode motorbikes and driven fast cars.
Made love to many a beautiful women in my life,
have two lovely children - even an ex wife.
A book of poems, a novel and a song,
are some of the things to be enjoyed when I'm gone.
I shall carry memories of my dearest friends,
on the long journey until a sign says 'the end'.
So, until the sounds of the earth can no longer be heard,
I shall remain a true spirit that's free as a bird.
