Try To Die and Why

Try To Die and Why

There are those things which we try;
Some do have desire and want to die;
And admit,
Escape from it;
While rest of us have wondered why.

When I went to bed prayers have said,
And then off into the night my life sped;
Wondered why,
I will die;
Pretty soon eventually did end up dead.

Jim Horn

Why am I having these thoughts and
dreams? Gads. I will be 78 on June 
26th. My brother is 70 today.

James, Wise beyond years, dreams hope to seek. Eyes, if they were tongues, woeful still, yet to speak. Well done. -Richard

Now that we can be constantly be capable, And also truly thoughtful while being able; Words wright, With delight; God removed my sins so I can stay stable. Jim Horn
