Message for JOE from poet lovedly his old fan

Lovedly
misses him* dearly
(*then esker)
and
as for afterlife there is no such thing
really
none has gone
beyond the grave yard
6 feet deep
including the PHARAOHS
whose body decayed

So live in peace
as you may
there is no heaven anyway
but if you have a belief
do stay
but on mommy Earth
enjoy your present days

who am to say
what I say
take it or leave it
it's your FAITH
enjoy those who still come by your way
Lovedly missed you
and now
is happy for JOE
you
that still on the Earth you do stay
do meditate and pray

soonly
I may join you anyway
Time's not far away..
my heart does say
poetic games I still play
Look after yourself
Sir JOE

nice and heartfelt, with nice poise. Very nice. I like that you can refer to yourself in the 3rd person in the poem.
Also Mommy Earth...That is original to me,I've never heard anyone do that. The closest was the song Mama Africa. What a great new way to say mother earth. If nobody else owns it, you should!

than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance

mummy's a word for ma earth
I have used it since my birth
mother earth gives all human mirth
