“Mortality and Me, Preparing for My Advent Day”
He’s coming, He’s coming…
He’s coming to bring me back home,
Hallelujah, Gabriel is coming in his chariot,
To bring me back home,
And how do I know,
My lifelong friend and partner, Morty,
Told me so!
Day by day I’m preparing for Gabriel’s coming,
I’m happily anticipating that Advent day,
I cannot know when that will be,
My lifelong friend and partner, Morty,
Told me so!
Yesterday Archangel Gabriel’s chariot passed me by,
Today there’s a chance he may be stopping,
How do I know,
My lifelong friend and partner, Morty,
Told me so!
I believe Gabriel’s chariot,
Has a capacity limitation,
He cannot take all of us back home in one day,
How do I know,
My lifelong friend and partner, Morty,
Told me so!
But surely as there is night and day,
My turn will come and on that Advent day,
I pray my friend Morty,
Tell Gabriel to blow his horn loudly,
I may be napping; I don’t want to miss,
That glorious ride back home!
For we human beings,
There is an Advent day coming,
A day when Gabriel’s horn will be calling,
How do I know,
My lifelong friend and partner Morty,
Told me so!
Day by day I’m getting ready to climb on board,
As Gabriel and his chariot swings my way,
My lifelong friend Morty will help me get onboard,
For that glorious ride home!
How do I know,
My lifelong friend and partner Morty,
Told me he would!

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.
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
