The message needs to be clearly identified as relevant and timely. Usually many of us have a real and important need to become clear about things we would like. This concerns all things, from everyday practical matters to avoiding sore, difficult or awkward feelings. The mystery is to be able to get a clear mind and then to uncover the answers to issues that trouble us. The 7 Words System offers a clear-cut instinctive logic that enables us to reach a much better awareness of what precisely we are trying to find. The process kicks off with No. To begin with, we will need identify precisely what we do not want what is not useful, before we can know what we do want.



Poems for father's funeral: HELLO is about openness and attention.

Its importance lies in bringing attention to aspects of death and dying that can perhaps otherwise not be recognized. The next stage correlates with the word Hello. We need to open up to new possibilities if we want to increase our breadth of answers to any predicaments we get into. You agree? To get something different we will need to extend our perspectives and look where we have not formerly looked previously. Fresh thoughts, new friends, new places and new things are clearly aspects of giving awareness to something we have not previously experienced. So we will have to at some point replace old for new, that can tender something in equitable return for what are trying to get.

Poems for father's funeral: THANK YOU is about giving from the heart.

The poignancy of the reading will depend upon striking a balance between too little and too much sentiment. Between all of our choices, some are more appealing than others and we give them a higher importance, because we appreciate them more. This is explained by the primary word Thanks. Repeatedly, we forget the significance of what we have, slide unconsciously into ungratefulness and are likely to presume things will always be the way they have been before. It's more than simply courteousness to display our appreciation for things we regard as valuable; it has a significant consequence in helping us to realize our ends. In some unconscious way, we are drawn to what we convey appreciation for, and yet it's equally true to say that we are able to draw them to us too. We acquire pull when we say Thanks and therefore, in doing this, we naturally bring things to come to us.

Poems for father's funeral: GOODBYE is about completion and moving on.

The finality of death has to be dealt with; there is comfort to be offered in Truth. The word Goodbye is the fourth of the 7 primary words and concerns a procedure having 4 clearly defined steps. They are: realization, decision, completion and moving on. Goodbye is being said to a particular stage of development, so could be observed in simple terms as out-and-out eradication of a workable course of action that previously we had been progressing towards and in future will not engage in. It is a turning point in our choice of possible outcomes. Goodbye is different from No because it suggests that there has been a degree of some level of connection already, which now needs to end compared to No's rejection in the first place. Proper decisions cut the past away entirely and that sharpness creates an opening that otherwise does not happen.

Poems for father's funeral: PLEASE is about vision and prayer.

Many people have little or no experience of prayerfulness hence the special value of poetry to create sacredness through beauty. The future unfolds according to the customs of the past unless we take control of it and shape it to our aspirations. To do this obliges us to have a vision of how we want it to be; this vision has to be very clear, clear-cut and optimistic—and converted into intention. They differ don't they - vision and intention? The first is to some extent unreal and the second is much more directed and deliberate. For a dream to become real there must be support. . Nothing can be finished without attaining the assistance of other people - this takes aptitude, doubtless persuasion, even stimulation. It is not always essential to present something such as money or money's worth.

Poems for father's funeral: SORRY is essentially about release.

Remorse, guilt and blame are issues that poems can address elegantly. Sorry, the 6th primary word, is best seen as making good damage done because we've been inconsiderate or oblivious to the circumstances of another. The best idea is to make sure we preclude the need to say it by being understanding in advance. For what reason? Well it's because anyone we upset could easily be inclined to act against us and diminish our likelihood of accomplishing what we intend, so it is obviously more reasonable to be concerned about others as well as ourselves. This question is all to do with being responsible, having a degree of concern for anyone we've upset and making amends when we've made a mistake. Then and only then will it ever be possible to avoid or repair offense and let go of the enduring nastiness that otherwise would increase and become further aggravated.

Poems for father's funeral: YES is about accepting and surrender.

Perhaps the deepest compassion is expressed when leading the bereaved to accept what is inevitable. The last stage of our 7 Words procedure is to do with acceptance; there are instances when we simply have to admit what we cannot change. The word is Yes. It would be good wouldn't it if we were able to make the world exactly the way we envision it - but in actual fact we can't. We always need to swallow what comes, and to take what is not exactly what we asked for. The best secret is to have conviction that everything in the long run turns around to our advantage, that the modifications to our plans are all improvements when considered in the perspective of the longer term. Indeed it's not easy to see it when we are still close and attached to our desires of course not! Yet pause a while and you will see that the serendipitous events, the surprises and disenchantments are actually the best bits masked as trouble.
