Interesting thoughts you have expressed in your well-structured poem. I like how you structured this poem. Very poetic and unique. We come to this earth alone, die alone, and we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. Faith and Prayers are tonics to our body and soul. And if we lead a life of righteousness, there is no rebirth according to the Hindu karma belief. Your poem is thought provoking. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Dr. Nad
Heaven awaits your decision Is a poem that challenges us to look to the past, then look to the present in order to improve the pending. You encourage us to look behind us, you encourage us to look around us, you encourage us to look in front of us, you encourage us to look inside of us, and then last of all, look above us. Then, for goodness sake stop being so selfish!
I read your author's note and I'm sorry but I don't really understand what you're asking. I don't know what my personal rating is, the truth is, it depends on the day. Some days I would rate myself quite high and other days I would rate myself quite low. We could ask my wife where she would rate me but she's not available to ask right now.. My active reviewing number is 211 if that helps. If you are asking me if I review to get member dollars, the answer is yes. However, I have reviewed at least 4 works today that paid two cents.

Thank you much for your review. The second half intrigued me.
In the decade or so of membership on FanStory, my sole goal was to expand my own mind and/or help others expand theirs. In my efforts to communicate accurately on this site, I have learned that my words carry only as much meaning as the reader assimilates.
Communication: "the sending or receiving of a MESSAGE that means the same to both sender and receiver."
We can approach perfection, but will never attain it because energy is always transforming into whatever natural law demands. That does not mean to stop seeking perfection, but to acknowledge the truth everyone is born with. If we advance each step by halving the distance to the ideal with each stride, we can keep going until we reach transcendence.
It takes commitment to peel our own onion.
Relating to the member dollar thing..
Tom is looking for more participation, not only for the dollar standpoint, but in the interplay of multiple minds. Websites are easy to create, but hell to maintain. The improvements from ten years ago are well appreciated by long-time members.
Gathering dollars is to promote our work. My suggestion is meant to benefit readers and posters, not criticize. If you had done as suggested, my thought would be (I did not make my introduction good enough.)
There are numerous cliques on this site that have kaffeeklatsches on a regular basis. Some choose to generate dollars by voting collectively (kinda) for one of their members in contests.
Choose if you must. I find that living on this planet is intoxicating. The number I sought was how well our wavelengths synchronize....John

Hey John, thanks for the clarification. My goal is also to become better and make those around me better as well.
Comment from Wendy G
I would rate it as thoughtful as well as thought-provoking. It is well written and clear so I would give it an 80 out of a hundred - hard to objectify with a number. You have used unnecessary capitals at times (in my humble opinion). Your final message is a wise one, and would do well to be adopted on a wider scale.

The author's words are interesting, meaningful and creative. The poem
flows and connects well. I really pondered on the last stanza - I found
the last line making so much sense and a great message.
Hope you had a great day!

Heaven awaits your decision unravels the many threads that form the roots of a person's identity and challenges individuals to chose morality and making the world a better place over one's own self interests.

Comment from Sharon Davis
This poem is rich in content and in its thought-provoling message, deserving of a 94. The chosen rhyming scheme and meter allows the piece to flow effectively, and as a result it is a smooth read. The title is well-suited to the choices eluded to in the body of the poem. I did think a little bit bolder or perhaps slightly bigger font would be beneficial, but that is because my eyesight is not what it used to be. Overall, excellent.
