Image result for pictures of cicadas bugsAfter being underground for 17 years Cicadas come out to mate, lay their eggs and then die. They sing for joy for that brief period of time. 

Those cicadas sing Love songs, their hearts overflow With joy for short time Humans are fill with deep fear Facing death after many, many years

Brian, I looked up about cicadas in England and they were once there more than one species but they believe they have gone extinct. The site said that there might still be some in "New Forest National Park" but they are not sure. We believers know in Whom we believe and that gives us the hope of passing from death unto life which gives us joy. Your presence at my page is always welcomed. Sara

Kim, I think it is but we are not overrun by them. In some places they say there are so many that the noise is bad. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Hi Sara, I didn't know that; they look similar to bees. Life on earth is temporary. But the spirit lives on. I enjoyed the read. Congratulations on your win. It was well deserved. Have a great day:-)Alexis

We all have to die. But it doesn't mean the end.
