Life Is.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Life Is....



IN MEMORIAM Rev. Billy Graham dies today at the age of 99 years.
He said to his audience after he dies, he only changes his address.


flourishing and decay
every minute in every way

each flower grows from a bud
till it shall wither, from hereto tither

with this flower, so grow all things with us
there in between, we enjoy and die,
we celebrate and bury, minus or plus

of the build-ups,
and build again from the decay
the flourishings will go on and stay
and so it is too with the decay

we enjoy, we give and take again
we lose again, all those growing pains
they stay again and will be released again
as a habit, good or bad every day
until life will come to its end

before that day will come
we grow and enjoy again
but then will come to the real end
we will be released
we are all together in a one-way direction
finally, we will meet the most precise perfection
and remain there

till God will call us
because we served Him
in love and praise

this is our life
this is our love
so was Billy Graham´s life
so was his love for God
for his ardent wife
for his five kids
three gals and two guys


life on earth has reached its end
afterward, we will spend
our eternal life together with God above
just as Billy said to the BBC man

the flourishing flower has gone to decay
and a new bloom arises and will stay
Billy Graham has gone to meet the Lord IF I may say
this is his new life after his old obsolete
this is love, happiness and hope
to preach about God´s Love around the Globe
fervently, ardently and very serious and straight
to 215 million people as LIVE-audience
this is how Rev. Billy Graham trained his conscience
twelf presidents as his listeners, Olala
from Harry Truman till Barack Obama!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I was devastated when I heard the Rev. Billy Graham just died this morning in the USA. He served so many people and he has visited so many countries. He was the only evangelist to preach in communist countries such as The Sovjet Union and China. In November this year he would be 100 years. WOW! He dies today and we are just in the middle of February, but he told the audience every time he was preaching that when he die he only changes his home-address. Yes, people born in November has a slight sarcasm, but in a good way. Each time I THOUGHT that Billy was dead already, but he was still alive, only he did not preach anymore, but still active at his Ministry Resort. Gradually I became tad sad too, as a result thinking about his personality and his serving God. Well, I heard that his son is doing this job since his Pa did not preach anymore, some 10 or 12 years ago. Enjoy the poem about how LIFE IS.... Thank you for reading and your precious comment(s) , written with unconditional love, sincerely, Sylvia Frances Chan, Dutch Poetess, Wirld Traveler, Evangelist, Paintress, Designerpoemcards and many more "hobbies".

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Kumarmani Mahakul 23 February 2018

It is great tribute to Rev. Billy Graham who was a noble priest and who had knowledge about life. Dear Sylvia, from your poet's note I knew about him. Though his body is no more yet his soul is alive. I appreciate your depiction. It may be quoted......... life on earth has reached its end afterward, we will spend our eternal life together with God above just as Billy said to the BBC man Thanks.
