Poem -
FROM WHENCE I CAME
SO SHORT A STAY
A FEW YEARS AND A DAY,
OF LIFE I LIVED,
PURPOSE,
TO LEARN TO FORGIVE.
SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES CAME MY WAY
LIKE THE MORNING SUNRISE
THEY TAUNT ME EVERY DAY,
BUT HOW MISERABLY I FAILED
LEARNING TO FORGIVE.
SO TO THE SOIL I RETURN
TO REINCARNATE AS A WORM
FOR SINCE I DID NOT LEARN HOW TO FORGIVE
THE LIFE OF A HUMAN,
I CAN NO LONGER LIVE.

Aw...I think you're dealing the worms a bad hand here...without them there would be no soil ...sometimes I think I'd rather be anything but human ...deep write Wilford x
Lol. Good comment MP. But I doubt that they have to forgive each other.
thanks for the encouragement.
Hey Sir BARKER!!....this is one of my Fav's from you.....perfect poetic rhythm and timing....but.....for me.....it's the VERY well delivered intent behind it that makes it touch me as a reader.....I think everyone can relate to the 'missed opportunities' and 'regrets' that a person has when reflecting upon their life....mostly because there are so many twists, turns, and unexpected circumstances in a person's life.....choices are everything!!.....I believe you haven't missed too much my friend or you would not be delivering such powerful and thought provoking wordplay here!!......However.....that closing line is a little disconcerting.....Hope all is well dear poet brother!!.....ALL STARS!! & PINNED!!......wonderfully well penned!!.......LOVE & ROCKETS!!.....T xo : )
Sir Tony. I am indeed happy to hear from you my friend. And on the day that I am reflecting on what would have been my mother's 93rd birthday. She has left us 10 years ago. I often wondered how you and your family were doing.
i did not try to impose by asking questions, knowing that we all have to take a break from this platform now and then.
‘welcome back my friend. Happy New Year, good health, God’s blessings and best of wishes to you and family.
