Frank Sheehan Poet Free verse

We'Re All Passing Through

We're All Passing Through
on this journey of life
Some have an abundance of years
Some not enough

You leave with what
you came into
this world with ----- nothing.
Everything stays behind

Except for your Soul
which hopefully
makes a new odyssey
to the afterlife

No material possessions depart from here
It all remains in it's place
That's why you should
gather up divine treasures

that surpass extravagances
as you willow time away
transposing daily desires
while you await paradise.

Jennifer Proxenos September 16, 2018 at 10:21 AM Hi Frank, Lovely poem, and so true! It makes one think of how insignificant we all are, even the rich, the famous and the powerful! Nature and its beauty stays, but we are just a grain of sand passing through an egg timer. kind regards, jenny.

Laura Breidenthal May 10, 2018 at 10:48 AM "gather up divine treasures" - pristine advice, Frank. A lovely little verse to read this morning. Remembering that we all die away without our wordly, material - often immaterial - things. Always, Laura
