Beautiful poem. I am amazed at how many people think that if God doesn’t fit their idea of what a God ought to be, then they won’t believe in Him – as if He would cease to exist because someone doesn’t believe that He does.

A god of our own making would be much too small to be worthy of worship.

Interesting poem.

Lovely, I love how you play with words.

I like this poem because it asks the difficult question that all religions try to answer: Why are we mortal? Death forces us to answer the question about what the point of life is. Without mortality, it would be less likely that we would have religion and by extension try to know God.

Thanks everyone for you wonderful comments.

Very thought provoking. Loved that question: “who would we be without death”

This too, is beautiful. I like very much.

WOW!!!
What information.
Truly great .

The recognition that we are mortal and will die some day forces us to examine our lives and our pupose. What have we accomplished? Who have we helped? What kind of legacy will we leave behind? God’s ways are higher than our ways; and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. If, in His infinite wisdom, He has chosen that we must die, we need to understand that when our time comes, it is because we have fulfilled our purpose.

This was very nice, but I didn’t truly understand what you were trying to accomplish in this poem. But very good. Keep on writing!

nice use of words. a distinct style.
