Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Born To Die

From our mothers womb
came we to this life
live three score and ten
experience joy and strife

Life’s end will come
our body will work no more
then death is our ultimate
our closure of life’s door

God’s book tells of judgement
asking us for our say
if take or reject his love offer
will be our word on that day

So born to die are we
in this life that’s me
born to die is God’s son
to make God’s salvation done

Komal Walimbe May 13, 2022 at 3:39 AM A great poem, I was really attracted to the title "Born to die" sometimes I wonder why we were born when someday we have to die but then I say "Cause God Wanted me to be" Komal Walimbe May 13, 2022 at 9:40 AM I'm from India. I have heard Scotland is a really nice place to visit. Hope I do once! Yes for sure!!!! I'm really glad for your kind reply! Gordon Mcconnell May 13, 2022 at 8:44 AM Thanks Kormal, Glad you enjoyed this and found it an impressive piece, it's really quite a thought why we are born and have to die.
