Eileen Manassian Poet Quatrain

Life Is Fine

This life is fine
The world is mine
Though I can’t stop
The hands of time

The birds all sing
And flowers bloom
The sun still shines
And chases gloom

And I can view
The sparkling sea
And all the stars
Just dance with me

The clouds, they hide
And I must seek
The creatures small
At me, they peek

The grass is cool
Beneath my feet
The water dew
Now wets my cheek

I have true friends
A family
And hope of an 
Eternity

A place where I
Will not fear death
Where all is sweet
Upon my breath

Where tears will cease
to touch my face
And I am blessed
By Heaven’s Grace

My life is fine
The world is mine
This is my time
To truly shine

Eileen Manassian

Eileen Manassian November 18, 2016 at 11:17 PM Thank you, dear. These little videos have been something I've wanted to do for some time. I had to get over my self image issues to do that. I've since lost 30 pounds and am feeling better about myself. Hopefully I'll record new ones soon. Blessings, dear.

I teach a public speaking class as well. :) Being a pastor's kid, I was involved in speaking and singing for church programs at an early age. :) Thank you for your kind visit. I'm not always upbeat. This was a special time.

My life has been looking up of late. :) My weight loss of 14 kilos has boosted my morale. I'm more at ease with people and can be the woman I was so long ago. Thank you for being so kind and good to me. Sending hugs all the way to that beautiful enchanting isle of Malta.
