Dimension of Life On Earth

The length of life on earth, 
Life can be too short for some people 
And too long for others as
only God who regulates
hours, 
days , 
months, 
years of living on earth. 
Some people could not get chance
to see the sun while others reached 
more than hundred  years. 

The length of life on earth, 
Many people pray to be long on earth, 
when they reach twenty years 
And depart to rest in peace.
Some people will mean that
they succumb  so early 
While they don't know 
 the time frame of God. 
If a child is born 
and expires at  same time, 
Some people can call it "too short."
Yes ! It is too short, 
what about the one who reached
twenty-five years on earth? 

The length of life on earth, 
Living too  long or too short in the World 
Leaving so quickly on earth is not the choice 
Of many people but the last decision of God. 
We must get prepared every time.

It's very profound poem. I grew up in the Christian faith but have come to feel my home as an adult is in spirituality, as it embraces many different religions just like our maker created us all so differently. Your poem resonated with me as only God decides when our spiritual journey ends. Enjoyed
Thank you for your visit and comment...Nancy. My grandpa left in seventies, My grandma still alive ( 101 years) My dad is 75 years ... They are still strong. Only God knows about our times to rest. Your welcome
