Living With the Dead

Living with the dead can be a little scary if you see the ones you knew who passed away come back to you to have their say. Maybe they've come to you tonight to give you just a horrid fright or let you know when you'll die too or where you'll go when you pass through? They may have come to try to tell that they went straight to heaven or hell or now released from living's shell they're still alive and doing well. But if with them you won't converse they'll go away and what is worse you'll miss the chance to great your friend and learn what happens in the end. If you refuse to let them in this really would be quite a sin and not the thing that you should do when friends arrive to visit you So if you wish to take advise forget your fear and be quite nice you then may find some comfort too and even learn a thing or two. For ghost are not all demons who would steal the soul God gave to you. Most just come to see a friend and reassure death's not the end. So please don't think you're going mad or let their visits make you sad. Welcome them just like before you thought they'd gone for evermore. Ivor G Davies
