Death

“I will die; but I don’t know when, how and where. If I die from a mortal sin, forgive me, Lord!” ~~~ Quote/Prayer by my grandmother ~~~ Death is not an issue for me for I do firmly believe, life is given to us temporarily, while we are here on earth to do what we are destined to be or meant to be for I give credence to fate, destiny. Yet, there are some doing what they want to be, successfully and somehow death comes immaturely, giving up. Success, family, money, prestige do not fill the void they feel inside and choose the way out, end life; own fate, death. 2/16/22 E Forms- Etheree - Poetry Theme: #2 Constance La France Used: How Many Syllables

Hi Marilene! So wonderful to have you back in the soup! I love the way you anchored your winner to your grandmother's quote. Love the line "death comes immaturely" juxtaposed with the successful, prestiged and moneyed who have no values or foundations. Hope you are doing well. We are making slow progress at repairing and restoring the house. Congratulations! Sending you blessings of serenity.

Thanks so much, Sam. Yes, when I was a little girl, we prayed at 6 pm every night before supper. This prayer was ingrained in my mind and my heart. Thanks for your input in your project. Repairing and restoring is a slow and sometimes long process than we planned. Take care, blessings to you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for my placement, your compliment and loving my grandma's quote. I used to pray with my grandmother and my aunts at the strike of 6:00 pm every night. That quote/prayer was ingrained to me. Have a great Sunday afternoon. Blessings to you.
