" EXISTENCE " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of flower and nature

Tell me oh, Existence:


Are you the mother of life

Or

Are you the father of death?



Are you my dying life

Or

Are you my living demise?



Are you the embodiment of my dreams

Or

Are you the incarnation of my nightmares?



Are you my relentless Winter

Or

Are you my eternal Spring?



Whatever you are though, your offspring, I am

Thus

A complaint from me you would never hear

For

To you, into eternity I totally belong!

A fine tribute to someone you and your wife both loved. The Bible tells us that those He takes before the Tribulation are the lucky ones. Love your field of wild flpowers. God Bless, JB

It is the first time that so many of my close friends and relatives died in such a short time. Thank God I see death as a liberator that is sent by our Lord. Thank you for caring, my dearest, Jennifer! Hugs and blessings!
