you come into this world
from your mother's womb with nothing.
you also leave this world with nothing.
between the nothings for some, is a very short time
even during this very short time
you need these priceless gifts
God gave you.

He gave you eyes to see and a nose to smel,l
a mouth to talk, even a voice to sing.
He gave you ears to hear, a strong healthy body.
most important of all he gave you

a heart that will continue to beat until your forever ends.
you may lose your eyesight
you may lose your hearing
you may lose so many of life's precious gifts.

where the avenues grow wider
and are so much harder to cross,
one thing you will need forever
the love of your friends
with a love that comes from their hearts.

I like it, but I don't like how the gap between the second and third stanza is tearing the text flow and that "a heart", which from my feelings belongs to the stanza above or better between those is forced into the first line of the next stanza.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
