(The poem may be read backward too, from the bottom up)


In a world where I do not exist

there's a place where I'm yet to enlist

where my yearning cannot be dismissed

and my soul reaches out to be kissed

one day there, where I will re-exist

after crossing that bridge in the mist

(if life's demons I chose to resist)

lifted high through that Heavenly midst

where my loved ones hold hands and subsist

on that day I will join them, assist

in rejoicing the peace we had missed

to this new world, my efforts persist

That day will come for us all Sandra, we're only in this world for a short time. Good luck in the contest. Hope your week is going well. Tom

Lovely poem - and it’s fun that you can read it from the bottom up as well!
