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.

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.

"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
