I Loved My Life

My days grow short and the shadows lengthen I pray hard that my prayers will strengthen My nerve here at the end My life replays before my eyes each day And I smile as I watch - Oh, what can I say I loved my life The time came and all of the skies lightened Then a voice spoke but I wasn't frightened "Well done, son! Welcome home." 5-31-20 Contest: Triple Stanza Couplet Tail Rhyme Sponsor: Charles Messina

Larry, great poetry as usual. Unfortunately the last words of each stanza were supposed to rhyme. Congrats on your placement. Hope all is well. Charlie
