Your whole poem is beautiful, but I truly enjoy these last words..."Love and its promise is a kite on God's own tether
So there are more than a few minutes left in our forever"

Thanks for sharing these lines with us Vance

Death is feared. Why? The unknown even with faith scares us. Love the title to this. Just begged me to read it. The ending line: "So there are more than a few minutes left in our forever" is just truly awesome. A songwriters dream line. A couple of forever thumbs up! Les

This is a beautiful poem using such emotional wording of how one can love so deeply.

A small typo. :-)

But as I lay her(here) now being told my life's done

I really enjoyed the unusual construction of your poem, Lots of Whittman influence I think. Nice rhyme and meter. Good structure and a tribute to love. Don
