Appreciate Poem by (TPAC) Alexander Coppedge

I'm sorry for this total absence of my presence, giving my firm apologies and regrets that I could not have been there, having one more chance to be with you and cherish the various things we all love.

Pardon my rude total absence of not being with you, giving my full regrets of not being seated among; knowing I have tried my best, still falling short of that goal: yet do ask all my friends to fill the void without me and carry on.

I do thank you for the wonderful flowers, despite being able only to capture with my left vision their beauty: now being here resting in this state my natural senses can't smell their scents.

I want you to please give my love and best wishes to all my friends, including my immediate family; wipe all their fallen tears away: exchange them with memories of happiness, replacing greater hopes.

I lye here totally absent from other activities about me; finding this empty state of absolute solitude within this coffin: found totally still and lifeless, without movements, I can't move my fleshly body at all.

My spirit, I do behold there, floats high in free air and hovers above you; watching all things constantly done by friends and close family: drifting 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 you have now, pertaining to your state of living, and appreciate it: endure living conditions because you could be worse, be thankful for whatever you have.
