Best Celebration Of Life Poems

I love life, that's probably apparent
By the happiness in all my poems
When I make my final curtain call
Want the biggest celebration known

Don't want none of that mourning stuff
No sad songs, no shedding of tears
Just want some joyous good time fun
Great food and buckets of cheer

Tradition...

Life is meant to be lived and celebrated
Celebrated for those who make living purposeful
Purposeful to them, and to others meaningful
Meaningful enough to be celebrated...

A den full of bunnies and three hot wives

Mansion parties til dawn

Inhibitions forgone

Pleasures and performance without any strife

Jan Allison

All the bunnies are in floods of tears

Hugh was ‘Buck-King’ for so many years

Bunnies will stand around

When Hugh’s...

The stage was being set. 
I needed to get out of the way so that I 
Would not end up squashed by the stage's immense size.
Yet even as the edges of the stage did nudge me, I could
Feel the softness all around.
Then I started to...

Dearest Cousin Madelyn,


Let’s sit in the rowboat, near the dawn’s verdant shore.
Where a squirrel sits under the Oak, that we once...so adored!


We can discuss music, or our fabulous families’activities.
Later, listen to jazz, Dave Brubeck, who was our sweet, chosen proclivity.


It was so fantastic, to be...

If I only had a few more minutes before you passed away
I'd tell you all the things I didn't get to say
I'd sit down with you and reminisce about our cape cod days
Go over one more time the particular day you walked my way
When you...

A CELEBRATION OF LIFE

The loss of your Mother:
a feeling of no other,
sadness and sorrow,  
tears of grief continue into tomorrow.

Your Mother,
whose pain has ceased, is now at peace.
The afflictions of old-age have been released.

Your Mother,
who gave you birth,
has left her heritage here on earth.
The...

SONNET II
A CELEBRATION OF LIFE
At your arrival, Your Royal Majesties,
Screaming siren in the procession of Cars and Guards
The Passersby is amused: is this a Burial or an Inauguration?

At your arrival oh Gs of this world,
You got the ovation of Everyone but the Dead
You’ve come Celebrating...

Today began with a beautiful sunrise at my home
Shades of bright orange shined in the dark
It was the early hours of the day for celebration of a life
As I traveled to the church, I passed snow-capped mountains
Glimmering in the morning sun, diamonds in the sky
Then,...

Another and strangers the party flowed 
Smoothly. Music was enjoyed.

Champagne some wine and juice.
The bar also served smoothies.
Adults mingled. Delilah Mallory 
Mother Daughtry and Amaliah were
Seated at a table talking and 
Eating in the company...

He said, "The Transporter thinks you're demanding."
How could that be with I say please, thank you, and kindly?
Honestly, the Great Aunt once said, "... they think you're soft."

To demand that life treats me kind, I know of kindness
To demand respect, I cook up and serve...
