In remembrance of the year past, be thankful that you’re here and able to read this. Don’t regret what you don’t have, lost or never obtained, but be thankful for what you have and that there’s an adventure waiting for you next year.

Valley View Cemetery Issue #242: Dia De Muertos 2021 Part 4

The origin of the original poem is a bit fuzzy and versions have changed, but, as we all well know, death is guaranteed, so we should prepare ourselves and those around us for the imminent danger that is death. Our entire lives are based on the struggle to live and to avoid the end of life. Fight or flight. Even from birth, we struggle for our first breath. Fighting for that essential gas known as oxygen. In opposition, when we die, we struggle for that last breath.

Yes, this poem seems silly and a little graphic. Something out of a Tim Burton movie maybe, but this goes to show that we should have fun while we’re alive and remember those we’ve lost because, eventually, we’re next.

To give some credit to a version of this poem that has been turned into many different songs, check out this video and please listen while you enjoy the last issue of our Dia De Muertos 2021 special.
