Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

People Who Want To Live Forever

I have not met them yet
The people who want to live forever
But I have met many who
Have forever and never lived

Maybe it would be those
Who have enjoyed great health
or great wealth
But more likely those who know how to love

For the lovers have the life
For they understand that loving 
Is why we are here
Our purpose

People who want to live forever
Are surely those 
Who contribute and feel confident
And share the love

Right?

Tom Cunningham August 14, 2019 at 5:06 AM Spot on Caren, love is what keeps us going. Caren Krutsinger August 14, 2019 at 12:27 PM I truly think it should be our one word mission statement, Tom.

Evelyn Judy Buehler August 13, 2019 at 11:57 PM Right! I absolutely, one hundred percent agree, Caren. Your poem beautifully illustrates what lucky people know-that love is what we're here for. Well said! Caren Krutsinger August 14, 2019 at 12:27 PM I do think it is the ONLY reason Evelyn.
