Appreciate Poem by (TPAC) Alexander Coppedge

I'm sorry for this total absence of my presence, extending my firm apologies and regrets that I could not make it, passing the chance to be with you, and cherish the various things we all fully love.


Pardon this.late woe of not being there, asking for your forgiveness about my non-presence, me not seated among you; knowing I have tried, falling short of that goal, yet ask all my friends to fill the void and carry on.


I do thank you all for the wonderful flowers, despite not being able to fully enjoy them only to capture my vision of their beauty: being here resting in a silent state, my natural senses can't smell their scent.


I want you to give my love and best wishes to all my friends, including my immediate family; wipe all their fallen tears; exchange them all with memories of happiness, removing any sadness and giving greater hope.


I lay here, absent from the activities about me, finding this empty state of absolute solitude trapped in a coffin: found still and lifeless, without no movements, can't bulge my fleshly body at all.


My spirit, I do behold, floats high in free air and hovers above; watching all things constantly done by friends and close family: drifting it over my endeared beloved ones, spreading joy to those I've left behind in life.


I learned one thing that is for sure: complaining doesn't help; accept what's in your life now, pertaining to your state of living, and appreciate it: endure those conditions because you could be worse, be thankful for whatever you have.
