Thrive
Born 1959, M, from Stoke, United KingdomNo matter how much we want to pretend
That our lives are uniquely bright
But beginnings give birth to an end
And we all must face the night
Riches and armies cannot prevent
That last inevitable fall
Whether noble or evil in intent
We will all heed that call
Those with honour will step into light
Accepting judgment without debate
Those steeped in sin will scream and fight
Unable to face their fate
Though man himself will surely die
His ideals and dreams survive
So though he in his mortal grave must lie
The legacy he leaves will thrive

11/26/2023Very profound. We may think ourselves worthy. But in the end we have to face the truth of who we are. Congratulations on Short Story Star of the Day.

11/26/2023So true Shirley, who we are is a puzzle, are we who we think or how we are perceived by others? We are all these things, I guess! It’s like asking whether truth is an absolute or a personal perception. I shall ask my wife! Hmmmm, maybe some truths I don’t want to know!

That was ...extraordinary. A parable in meter. Lovely, just lovely.
Smiles, Kevin
