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

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

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.
