Thank you for sharing this club entry with us. I enjoyed reading. I just finished reading another interpretation of this artwork a few minutes ago and it was good too. I really enjoyed reading your interpretation. I read some a few days ago and it made no sense to me.

Yes I wrote something yesterday about the one thing we can't redeem and therefore the most precious gift we can give, and that is the time we spend on others, anything else can be replaced. Beautifully written Tina, blessings Roy

    Yes, Roy, anything else is replaceable. Wise words. We cannot grab time back. Blessings to you as well. I enjoy your consistently great writing, especially your themes:)

Love this one, Tina! Your first couplet encapsulates the sense of time and space of our present life, but the second one (my favourite) speaks of our spiritual life. The third reminds us to be patient and trusting, as His ways are perfect and our times are in His hands. Beautiful, and thought-provoking meditation.

    I am glad you liked it. It means a lot when my simple words translate properly. God's so good that all I want to do is write about Him.
    I am praying for the flood victims still. I carry them in my heart.

Very well done, Tina. Your rhymed couplets leading us home is a fine testimony to our journey here on Earth.

    Ooh...I sort of wished I had used the word testimony in my poem. Our time is indeed a testimony. I appreciate the thought in this!

God being Omniscient knows the present, the past and the future of God's creation; He knows our state, stand and order of living by degrees going to the eternal and the time when we begin our time of departure from this gifted surface of the planet; well said, well done, post god speed more, share post not 4 self-joy-pride but 4 God and readers worldwide Alcreator Litt Dear (DR)

    Thank you for this:) My mind has trouble grasping all that He knows but I know He knows my limitations. These words are just the best I can do with my human brain. I always enjoy your reviews.
    Have a blessed day!

Loved your picture entry poem, Tina! The picture does look like a step into Eternity when our time on earth is over and we can be with the Lord in person! Great rhyming couplets. My favorite is the first!

    Thank you much! The words came to me quickly as I pondered what time means to us here on earth.
    Funny, you liked the first stanza. I considered stopping with just that couplet!
    Great minds?
    I appreciate you, ma'am!😁

    💖💖It was a great way to encapsulate that sense of spiritual reality while we live this physical one!

This is a great interpretation of the image for your club response,
Tina. The rhymes worked well and had a great and true story to
tell. I liked the color scheme and the way you formatted your lines.
Thanks for participating, Jan
