Excellent

Thank God that it isn't brother. We would be the most miserable if that were the case. We have a living hope bless God! He didn't leave us hopeless and bereft, oh no! He went away and prepared a place for us to be with Him throughout eternity! I appreciate you sharing this uplifting, inspirational, and well written work. Well done!

Grasping the essence of this poem is quite joyful. Today is forever is a lovely phrase.

"It's eternal now
The future's always today" It's a wonderful fact.

This is outstanding, Roy. Says it all so simply and clearly. What a powerful piece of art! And, the power of the NOW! Thank you for the reminder to keep one's mindset on God, in the Now moment!

Thanks, for these thoughtful, comments and a review, But where is it written that death is the end? How can you possibly know? It?s amazing how many people who have asked if He exists have been answered, why don?t you ask? blessings, Roy

reply by Dolly'sPoems on 02-Aug-2020

Do we need it to be written to believe? x x x

reply by the author on 02-Aug-2020

Why don?t you write on it, and challenge belief?

reply by Dolly'sPoems on 02-Aug-2020

I don?t challenge belief, I believe in belief, we all should be entitled to believe what we want x

The tanka speaks of eternal life. For those who have chosen to believe in the Lord, and have faith in Him and all the prophesies that is so. We will not die, we only stop living in this world. As long as we are here, we should live each day as good as we can, and sing the Lord's praise.

A very well-written Tanka. The earthly death Isa transition from earth to the eternal life where there will be no sickness, pain or death and we will live forever with our Creator.

Knowing that "death is not the end" is what keeps the Christian going when life is really hard. Your spiritual tanka is lovely, conveying a powerful message about eternal life.
