Life To Death - Today's Contest

Life
Living
Awaiting
Being in love
Casting away doubt
Giving and receiving
All unconditionally
Leading to a happy marriage
Besotted so in love, life entwined
Until deaths sting strikes it's unwanted blow

Dear Seren, This is the story of many people's lives. So glad you had a happy marriage. I have experienced that sting you describe and it stays with you a long time. I sent you a Soup mail, but I know what is wrong with my poem and will fix it today. Thanks for letting me know. I had to reread the directions a few times. Getting old isn't for sissies. LOL Best wishes, Carolyn

Did you change it cause I don't notice any change unless its something in the 8th or 9th line...I don't remember completely your previous poem, but I think there's something different there! Anyway, I love this poem, it is one of your best writes my friend! It was nice to read it again, Great Work!!
