If For Some Reason

If for some reason You never saw another sunrise Did you live your life to the full If for some reason This was the last chapter of your life Did you find love in a world of darkness If for some reason This was the final curtain Did you accept the hand you were dealt If for some reason You heard the angels singing Did you embrace the light while on earth 5-5-17 Alexis Y.

Hi Alexis, Another excellent write from your pen, you write some excellent questions. All i can say is i will always let others answer these questions. Those close to me would know the answers better than myself. I do try to spread the light of love as much as i can. The first question would be a definite No for me. This one has to be a seven Alexis. Hugs....Mike. XX

Hi Mike, Thanks you so much for seven, the awesome comments and the recent visits to my page. As for your answer to the first question, I understand but one can always make small steps to start living "their"to the full. I will visit your page soon my friend:-)Alexis

Questions we should all ask ourselves Alexis. I would like to think that I could answer yes to each of these questions. But I am sure I can do better. A thought provoking poem Alexis. 7 ; )

Good Evening Alexis. This entry was a perfect way to end poetry tonight because your entry makes the reader pause and look within. You have expressed beauty and worth. Yes, worth. Your questions and thoughts are so valid, Well done entirely. I very much enjoyed the repetition for expression. Check your fourth line. Enjoy the night.

I love the pure existential pondering of this exquisitely smart poem, Alexis. A very spiritual write. Top notch poetry for sure. It gets a 7 for courageous. Love always.

I loved this my dear friend. Love the form and the questions as they made me think. My answers I believe would be yes to all of the above. :)

Lovely write, Alexis! I can honestly say that I accept my destiny with open arms! I've died twice while in ICU, so without going into detail, I have seen the light! And it was beautiful beyond words! Enjoy your night/day.
