Notes About The Poem

POTD and removed from Grook contest because I forgot the sponsor did not want it rhymed

____________________________________________________________________

Fear Not Death

“Fear not the Grim Reaper. Death is an angel that accompanies good people to their home of everlasting joy.” by author

Death is not a spectre that wields a scythe.
The minute we’re born, we wend our way to it.
Neither is our Heavenly Creator but a myth.
Even if you breathe your last mortal breath,
a home like no other waits beyond the veil.
If life seems so hard that you want to scream,
there is no need against God to rail.
Life is but an eye blink in His grand scheme.
If you are kind and faithful, blessed in death you’ll be.
Joy, light, and love will be yours eternally.

A well composed grook you've written here with a beautiful rhythmic flow, and despite your directive point re conditionals--a true first place it'd be, Andrea, howbeit has achieved POTD status in its righteous due. My belated compliments my friend, and--Fave for me. Aloha William

It's been a while since I've had the luxury of being on here. But you've always been one of my favorite poets Andrea. This poem and your faith inspire, and I hope it inspires others to know that light that resides within. Very well written! Glad to see you're still at it. <3

Ah sweet andrea what a wise write, i think oneday ill get there to think the same way about death, as you know death is one thing i fear especially of those that i love and this year itself iv attended three funerals, but through it all how you view death did calm me so for that im thankful! Wise and spiritual write. My take on death is very different its about death of trust hah. Just posted hopefully its ok. But thats whats on my mind right nowx congrats on potd well deserved

Those dying now are escaping some very terrible things coming down the pike. If they got to live a long life, I miss them but I know they are in a much happier place. I think your approach to death theme is a good idea
