I enjoyed reading your well crafted poem which has a great message about
the insignificance of earthly possessions when death is imminent.
They are of no use. A life well lived is all that matters. Thanks for sharing.

A powerful message in your well written poem. Perfect artwork, excellent rhyme and meter. Good use of alliteration as well.
I particularly liked the last stanza. Powerful imagery.

Well done Pam

This poem was unsettling, but truth has that effect on people sometimes. You did a good job telling the story in this poem. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Hi Pam,
This is a good poem of faith and truth. It reminds us the faith is more important the money and things in the end. It has a smooth meter and unforced rhymes
Keep writing and stay healthy
Enjoy the rest of the day and week.

well, it seems that your character didn't put his soul first, so I guess he is doomed.
When one is dying, possessions cease to matter. A good thing to remember. A good lesson, and poem.

What a lovely, fluent and well rhymed verse with a strong message that, at the end of the day, we can't take all those trappings with us. And we should also be wary about all the lies and corruption implicated in that materialism. (love "Your earthly prison's steeped in lies/but truth is waiting in the skies). This theme is beautifully conveyed, with a light, quite humorous touch at times, which makes it all the more entertaining. Thank you Pam. Well said and well done! Debbie

Pam,
I can relate to this poem, and love and eternity really are more important than fleeting materialism.
Your rhyme scheme is nicely done.
Good luck with this great poem.

Wow, a very solemn poem about the value of living a healthy good life. Bad deeds leed to judgment and consequences, it's better to be a kind loving person.

Good job

So true! This is a great piece you have shared with your fans. When it's all said and done, there is only enough room in the casket for the occupant.
God bless,

This is so true, Pam. Much better to be a warm and compassionate person that to collect material possessions, for at the end of the day, they mean naught. Though some never do get that.
cheers,
