Life I Desire

Life I Desire Those unseen, the angels On their daily activities Just like we do on Earth Simple life they lives, not taint Always clean, no spot, always neat No trespass, they know their worth Not like you, no lie Although they are sanctify They often opt for forgiveness They don't yield to the temptation of lost They always humble their wings Not like you, who always boast No gossip on themselves Not like you with malicious slander I wish I could leave this world I wish I could be one of them To leave this world of war behind Where hatred and killing pervade To go to the world of peace Where I would live a peaceful life Peaceful life is my desire

this one seems so heartfelt, to want to be with the angels and away from this wicked warring world. Soon enough we all will be out of this world, my friend.

This world is often filled with pains and a lot of strife which we want to leave behind! How peaceful it is to wait for Paradise! Good job.

Zen instructs, take what comes along with a smile. Easier said than done, eh, Afolabi. I'm with you -This old sinner would love to have friendship with angels. Love and peace to you. May the blessings be. daver

Such a beautiful poem written with such keen awareness. And one day we shall live in His Glory as such. And I too can't wait! But know there is work here to be done and many who might miss out. But oh how those Angels swirl about our days! God Bless You Afolbi!
