I like the photo for our eyes can show our feelings. Feelings of death as people see us. Yet, may do not die healthy. Many are at peace leading in the same direction. I like how only two lines can get my attention on death.

Dear Mystery Writer,

Well, I have to disagree a bit. What about those stupid kids who die in senseless car wrecks? Unfortunately, they are in perfect health when they die so horribly. I realize we all end up the same, though - as dust.

Thanks and good luck!

Dear Author,
I found your serious well-written contest entry the truth. In a few words, your thoughts tell it all. I decided to keep going as long as I am able, and I know my body is breaking down--since 30! Your/our "paradox" is troubling, and I hope I/we can enjoy the quality before it's time!
Thank you for sharing this with us. Deborah

However, the soul remains - and the blessing is that those who accept Jesus Christ as Saviour from their sins - their souls go to heaven to be with HIm. We're told also at the last day we'll have a body as he did after resurrection - that part makes me wonder a lot.
good job with two lines.

Getting older beats the alternative. Kudos for making a two line poem rhyme. One time as a news reporter i interviewed an 85 year old man who said if he had known hed have so many health problems hed have died when he was 75. Good luck in the contest.

This meets the contest requirements beautifully with a correct two line count. The content is such that it will resonate with many voters and so should do well in the booth. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

Quite a contemplative offering for the contest today....your chosen pic is a GREAT choice for your words on this one! ;) :) Be sure to pop back in there and eliminate the gnome graffiti from your author notes... :) ;) Thanx for sharing and best of luck at the polls! ;) ;)

A very well-written two-line poem about our lives that we live the bvest we can but at the end we are growing old and end up six-feet underground and only have remains.

I find it so difficult to write those short poems. The less lines and syllables you have to work with is too restrictive for me. I commend anyone willing to take on that challenge. That being said, I think you did a good job with your poem. You told a complete story in two lines, and not only can many of us relate to it, you made it rhyme as well. Good Job!
