Is Life--

Is Life a Game to be Won? A Point or Two Here or There-- What difference if it Vanish in Air? Is Time a Race to be Run? A Baby will Crawl, And a Pilot will Fly-- What matter it when both must Die? Is Eternity a Song to be Sung? By those whose Deaths are Pure as their Breaths are--

Thank you for your praise, for your kind words,...and, honestly I have no idea what kind of a writer I am. It's only through great people like you that I have a clue as to how I'm doing...It's like good ole Philosophy 101: 'If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to hear it fall,...Thanks for being there, Kyle!! Best regards ~Gershon

Very introspective - I like how the first line of each stanza rhymes!

Thanks for the observation. I was wondering why this poem "worked." Now I know. I honestly hadn't realized it fully. Michelle, what would I do without you?! Thanks for checking my site. Best wishes, :) gw
