We Are Borrowed

Death usually brings her own rewards. More hugging and clutching, More appreciation, More reverence, More laughter. More respect. In some ways, It is the best Time to love, A reminder That we Are all Borrowed, But we Have to Be returned.

Caren, I like the concept in this poem 'We Are Borrowed'. Death can draw closer the survivors, even after years. -Richard

We all seem to love each other a little more after each death.

I really had no idea how to end this but it came quickly and I knew it was the end.

We are all borrowed but we have to be returned. The beginning of our real lives. I like that thought. The things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
