“Morty and Me, Preparing for Advent Day”
He’s coming, He’s coming…
He’s coming to bring me back home,
Hallelujah, He’s coming in his chariot,
To bring me back home,
And how do I know,
My lifelong friend and partner, Mortality,
Told me so!
Day by day I’m preparing for his coming,
And I’ll be happily waiting for that Advent day,
I know not when that will be,
But I know it will eventually come because,
My lifelong friend and partner, Mortality,
Told me so!
Yesterday his chariot from the sky,
Passed me by,
But there’s still some time left in today…
There’s still a chance He may be stopping by,
How do I know,
My lifelong friend and partner, Mortality,
Told me so!
I believe his chariot,
Has a capacity limitation, therefore…
He cannot take all of us back home in one day,
How do I know,
My lifelong friend and partner, Mortality,
Told me so!
But surely as there is night and day,
My turn will come and on that Advent day,
I pray my friend Mortality…
Tell Gabriel to blow his horn loudly,
As He swings by on his sweet chariot…low,
I may be napping…
And I don’t want to miss…
My turn for that glorious ride back home!
For we human beings… all,
There is an Advent day coming…
When you’ll hear Gabriel’s horn calling,
How do I know,
My lifelong friend and partner, Mortality,
Told me so!
Day by day get ready to climb on board,
As Gabriel swings by on his sweet chariot…low,
Your lifelong friend, Mortality,
Will help you get on board,
For that glorious ride home!
How do I know,
My lifelong friend and partner, Mortality,
Told me so!
Envoi:
Day by day you can prepared for that “Advent “ day by practicing
the social arts of understanding, valuing, caring and respect!
P.S. I wonder if my lifelong friend and partner, Morty will be coming along with me? 🙂

poems about death of a loved one
For each of us there will be an “Advent” day. We do not and cannot know, for sure, when our spiritual-soul will be called back to Divine presence, our place of origin. We do know that our physical time on this earth is temporary. That’s the reality of our existence. We all are mortal beings. The intent of the poem, “Morty and Me, Preparing for Advent Day,” is to explore the application of “positive response” to the fear of death. By practicing the social arts of Understanding, Valuing, Caring and Respect, you create a positive bridge to meaningfully and purposefully cross the span of your life back to infinity, back to Divine presence: Back to a place of contentment, happiness and joy. Day by day, practicing the social arts of Understanding, Valuing, Caring and Respect can also be your contribution, your purpose, to help ease and or eliminate the epidemic identity politics turning us against one another and even on our own selves! Best of luck as you live your life in a meaning full way with Understanding, Valuing, Caring and Respect for others and yourself! Sincerely yours, Blooming Bobville the practical positive-response poet. May you always be fresh and blooming 🙂
The History of Advent:
The word “Advent” is derived from the Latin word adventus, meaning “coming,” which is a translation of the Greek word parousia. Scholars believe that during the 4th and 5th centuries in Spain and Gaul, Advent was a season of preparation for the baptism of new Christians at the January feast of Epiphany, the celebration of God’s incarnation represented by the visit of the Magi to the baby Jesus
