Charles Reese Poet Pantoum

Longevity sk

To out live those you used to know 
To see them fall now one by one
Means nothing if you didn't show 
A life you lived just for the Son

To see them fall now one by one 
Companions friends and foes alike 
A life you lived just for the Son 
With hopes you'll someday then unite 

Companions friends and foes alike 
Each create mosiacs in their life
With hopes you'll someday then unite 
In a place that's devoid of strife 

Each creates mociacs in their life 
Hoping for a life without end 
In a place that's devoid of strife 
Eternity that won't offend 

Hoping for a life without end 
Means nothing if you didn't show 
Eternity that won't offend 
To out live those you used to know
