The Passing

Pity those 
who enter eternal grace, 
with nothing to show for it 
but 
a name and a physical presence.

Life required more.
And the heavens obliged.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
