Steve Watson Poet I do not know?

The Places Where We Die

Some deny them, some prepare
But we all know we’re 
Going there 
To the places where we die.
They might as well be in the stars
Mine on Venus, yours on Mars 
Because we only know we’re 
Going there 
Not the when and not the where 
Only that,
Waiting there 
Are the places where we die.

Beata Agustin January 11, 2026 at 6:05 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts in God 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." Be blessed.
