Earthquakes

Looked up falt lines on the internet Found out information that I regret Now I am shaking in my boots Living life is not a party hoot Be ready for at any time, quake And life as we know it will take A plunge into the past forsake Be ready at all times don't hesitate

Sara, You have said it well... "Be ready! God in the heart is a must! The faithful are protected through trust. Dead or alive, He will stay by our side if we have upon the righteous trail, a ride. Love to you, Dane Ann

Yes, Sara, thank you for sharing your lines with us. I experienced myself several earthquakes in ranges of 5 to 6 Richter Scale, but luckily was never harmed. I can tell though it is a terrible feeling being within a quake. Here we don't have earthquakes but sometimes heavy storms. Thank you for your kind comments. Keep writing...Gert

That would be very scarey to have to think about all the time but is so true.I am still fighting pnemonia and now I have kidney infections.Never had one before and man do they hurt.Lots of cranberry juice for me.Hope all is well with you.

Dare I assume Sara that you live somewhere in the state of California? Yes be ready at all times but without paranoia. Life's too short. Try to enjoy every moment. Another great piece and thanks for all of your past comments on my work. Best Wishes Always, Bill

Interesting poem about fault lines. I've been in a few quakes, myself. No one knows just where and when one activates. So, indeed, one should be ready.
