Forget About the Funeral
If you love me, tell me now.
Recite my eulogy.
If you honor the way I live my life,
then share your joy with me.
If I’ve done something to make you proud
will you please let me know?
If I’ve done something to hurt you
confront me now or let it go.
If you miss me or want to see me,
call, write or just come over
and if you desire to express your love …
do it while you’re sober.
If you want to give me flowers - great.
I can utilize my senses.
If you want to express heart-felt words,
let’s talk - don’t put up fences.
If you want to spend more quality time
mark your calendar, it’s a date.
If you want to celebrate the here and now,
know that tomorrow is much too late.
Please don’t wait until my funeral
to pay your last respects.
Don’t let a final, dormant cause
have an awakening effect

About the Book
Cookie’s Corner could have easily been entitled Forget the Fairytales. For Cookie’s Corner focuses on reality, not fantasy. It’s girl talk in its rawest poetic form. Cookie’s Corner gives one woman’s account of every woman’s subjective and objective life experiences. Through poetry, the author preaches, teaches and reaches.
Read about the independent woman, the spiritually mature woman, the God-fearing woman, the woman scorned, the woman filled with love, etc.; or just check out the guy next door. You’ll realize that he’s “nothin’ but a man.” Cookie’s Corner is a woman’s poetic equivalent to Lifetime’s cable station. Read it to be entertained and enjoy.
