Of Being Forever

Listen to poem:

*Image of Creation Adam by Everypixel.


Of Being Forever


Of being forever dealt joys,
Hope occasions kept prayers,
Righteous life earnestly employs,
Constant good saved our tears,

-- to live, then know death takes,
-- to die, then know life waits,
the wherewithal creates,

Answers our endeavor,
Of being forever.

Sam Kauffman Date: 10/29/2021 11:00:00 AM William, congratulations for your win. You have truly expressed the very crux of life - to die is to live. There are so many times in life when we have to die to ourselves only to find a new life in life. Wonderfully spoken! Aloha blessings my friend.
