I believe we were meant to live forever and this fact is hard to fathom with our limited even fractional use of our minds immense capacity.

I believe that good can and will exist without the presence of evil
I believe that we can appreciate life without the notion of eventual death

Love without hate
Life without death
Good without bad

Very touchy poem. Thanks.

very beautiful poem.

I love this poem Janette. Specially this part:

“Would a flower look so beautiful
Its fragrance smell as sweet
If it didn’t labour through a chill
And survive a wondrous feat”

True, we get to appreciate things more if we know that they are not always there for the taking.

thanks for such a lovely poem

I really like this Janette. I agree, we can’t appreciate the good things without having the less than perfect to compare them with. This is a beautifully written poem.

This is an original cotribution to the world of poetry. Thanks.

It’s impossible to know, heat
Without experiencing, cold

I love this line Janet… very true…Such a wonderful piece of poetry…

How beautiful and well expressed. I just love this poem. Good Job!

A beautifully written and thoughtful poem. Enjoy reading it very much.

Everything is a blessing in disguise. Wonderful entry.

Very touching and beautifully written.

woo lovely

The scheme of life, so complex

Yet the message simple and true

The extremes of life, good and bad

Make life meaningful – for you!

This is what life is all about. Excellent piece, JM

Imagine for one moment…love it very much..indeed if only man would just take for a moment to realize what life is all about and how beautiful lit is,
a touching poem as well as one that makes one think.

Yet sometimes, the said ‘extreme’ is unbearable. I only imagine such peaceful things in heaven. Simply wonderful Janette.

Wow, Janette! This is such beautifully written poem. As you say we have to experience both extremes to really appreciate the difference. It is definitely your best one so far. Well done.

Thank you everyone for your very kind comments. They are very much appreciated.

It’s impossible to know, heat
Without experiencing, cold…love this line so much! In life,there’s always a balance,we can never know the true meaning of it without experiencing the poitives and negatives.

The poet’s reflection about utopian world is very admirable. the style of the poem is clear and polished.

I love this poem – I agree with all that you say. Thank you and blessings to you. A new fan and follower~vocalcoach
