Wow so many questions! I think we all ask ourselves these type of questions as we wonder if we've done the right things, could we have done more etc etc. It is very thought-provoking. Good luck!

Hi there Wendyanne, you are so tremendously sweet. Thanks so much for your lovely comments for my question poem. These have been like a checklist that I do for myself so I don't lose sight that I am a sinner. No, not easy for anyone. I always try to remember that whenever I feel I have it under control, that is when I know that I am in trouble and time for a check up again.

This is an absolute wonderful post that you have written. Oh, if we were all choose to live by the words that you have expressed in this pool or world would be so much better off. Thanks for sharing this lovely work with us. Patricia if I had more than six dollars, I would give them to you.

Comment from Lisasview
Oh gosh so so many questions about the meaning of life... And, that question never ever changes... the answers are all that change as one gets older.
I did so enjoy your poem... The font, the color and the image.

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, When My Time Has Run Out, seeks balance in the many years we have and the many things we can do to further our own purposes and those of God. The questions are obvious, even without punctuation.

Comment from Terry Broxson
This is a very well-written poem about your faith. I think the key to understanding your message is that it's personal. You're not preaching to your readers about what they need to do. You're simply observing what your faith has meant and done for you.
Ultimately, when our time runs out, our individual experience is all that matters. Very well done. Terry.

'Thank you Terry. You fully understood my reasoning for this piece. I was inspired recently to do a checklist of myself, which I concluded is well worth asking the questions. Thanks for very kind comments and gracious stars.

To be absent from the body is present with Christ. Something that we who love the Lord look forward too. Love you entery. Hope it does well in the contest.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Wonderful thoughtful, prayer-like full of questions we should all ask ourselves. Do unto others ... and all that comes after should be a prompt when we turn the computer on, maybe.
I found a few places where I would have written differently, like the last line verse one replacing what is with should be. Small stuff but I suspect it comes to how one reads each line. It's fine as is.

Tom, this is so strange, but I read it like you suggested time after time and still wrote it the other way. I think because when we look at something long enough we lose objectivity. So in these quick prompts we don?t get to step away long enough. I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you so much for being my objective! You are awesome. But then you already knew that! Lol.
God Bless, dear friend.

An interesting poem of self evaluation and strong Faith. I personally enjoy poetry that throws questions at the reader. Well written and a clear message comes across. Thankyou. Kind regards, Rich.

Hello Rich, I see that you are new here and I would like to welcome you. I hope you find what most of us do, that it is like a second family after you get to know people.
Anyway, you are so tremendously sweet. Thanks so much for your lovely comments for my question poem. These have been like a checklist that I do for myself so I don't lose sight that I am a sinner. No, not easy for anyone. I always try to remember that whenever I feel I have it under control, that is when I know that I am in trouble and time for a check up again. Thanks again, my friend.
