"But in this world, nothing can be said to be certain - except death and taxes" - Benjamin Franklin, 1789 What if death came knocking at your door tonight. Would you be ready? Don Ford knows, as he reveals in his near death experience... In the midst of life, there's death. Facing up to death makes us who we are. We cherish our loved ones, our lost loves and friends. Indeed, each loss might diminish us, but we will remember them... and maybe in time others will remember us. Poems, vignettes, and stories about our world, loss and love, where Don Ford strives for some sort of connection and reaction from his readers.
