PRAISE

poem by: Ja Ja
Written on Jun 10, 2017

Why, 
           while we struggle on this earth
Not a word of praise is said

But, 
          we so lovingly are eulogized
After, we are dead
WIZDUMBs BY JA 166

You make such a good and important point. Kind words left unspoken will not benefit our loved ones when they are gone, and will leave us with regret. Thanks!
Cecilia Crasto commented:
I've often wondered this myself, they say when someone dies we tend to view them as mystical saintly figures and all their transgressions are forgotten and forgiven, strange indeed, well written as always Ja Ja.
Robert Kohlhammer commented:
Deep words that still resonate for a while after it has been read.

So true
Q. Ramirez commented:
Good food for thought. Same can be said of posthumous poets.
