Notes About The Poem

Illumine My Soul

Light to my soul, heavenly bliss, If you forgive me Lord Loving you naught can be amiss, For penance I afford. Death seems ever so near My soul should be all clear Take me Lord there's no fear. Let the bells toll, Light to my soul. Quietus

This one embraces death in a positive way A very personal conversation with the lord is uplifting despite death, with no fear. Great job.

Words of faith and prayer--expertly written in this hard to execute form. Many share the sentiments you express as we age. But not many have the courage, you show, Victor. Heavenly write!

My eyes well up with tears as I read your magnificent poem, Victor. Then what can comment about such a powerful feeling and heavenly apology? It's a bold poem about facing death, and you wrote it so perfectly.

Hello Victor - What can be said for such a strong emotion and spiritual plea. Tears come to the eyes of readers. Because I have lost many loved ones who have suffered I am in full agreement that when someone is ready to rid pain and suffering that decision is most powerful and emotional. Love and blessings always not to mention health.
