Completed Then Go

Facing one's mortality isn't easy. Would death be better hear ringtone swiftly, unexpectedly_ pass from life breezy to eternal life, sustainable upward drift. Or be granted extended life on earth. Maybe through simple living great deed do. Book about life's problems solved_ could birth. Review life, help youth before bid adieu. No way would want to linger; a problem to family, unable to care for self. No way have choice how I go, no stratagem can alter what fate life gives oneself. I would want all my ducks in a neat row. Life's accomplishments completed then go_ Words used: ringtone, sustainable,simple living Theme: 7)Eternal Questions Sponsor: Cyndi MacMillan Contest: Timeless Yet Contemporary A Sonnet Thang

I understand this write very well my friend! I would want everything to work out just perfectly too, but alas, things just don't seems to go that way! But the key to this poem, is to do the best that you can do, and to help as many people in the process so they can complete their own goals and ambitions too! If only we all could help each other out, this world would be a much better place! I really enjoyed your write tonight, it's a very great poem to read! What a delightful piece, Awesome Work!
