Well - all of you Optimists out there are going
To want to HANG ME!

And - all of you Pessimists out there are going
To want to give me a MEDAL!

But - all of you Realists out there are going
To say: “Key-Rist - he finally GETS IT!”





Poem Artwork




Thank You Lord -
For Another Day -
HERE in Paradise!

© - Tom Hyland - 07/15/08


WHAT IF -
That’s All She Wrote?
The Here and Now is ALL that There Is?


WHAT IF -
Heaven and Hell are just MYTHS,
Created by organized religions,
Just to keep the SHEEP -
Scared and in the Fold?


WHAT IF -
There is No Reward? No Punishment?
What you SEE is what you GET!
LIFE - ONE TIME AROUND - FINITO!
BUMMER?


Eat - Drink and Be Merry -
For Tomorrow Ye May Die!
Carpe Diem - Seize The Day!


LIVE - LAUGH - LOVE -
DON’T WORRY! BE HAPPY!
ENJOY!


WHAT IF -
There is No Reincarnation?
No Second Time Around -
NUTTIN’ HONEY!


WHAT IF -
Your Eyes Don’t Open Tomorrow Morning?


Did You - Do All You Could Do?
Did You - Be All you Could Be?
Did You - See All You Could See?
Did You Really Help Others?
Did You Leggo Your Ego?


WHAT IF -
Today is Your LAST Day?
No Tomorrow?
Will You Feel Remorse?
Did You - Miss The Boat?


Thank You Lord -
For Another Day -
HERE in Paradise!

Tom, What if you woke up and heard God say, 'depart from me, I never knew you?'...Wise King Solomon experienced EVERY thing life had to offer and his words of wisdom were to 'eat, drink and be merry--to love God and others since this is where we find our purpose in this life. God planted eternity in man's heart...we desire to live forever...somewhere and I believe that our destiny will be either heaven or hell. This choice is entirely ours. Blessings...Frances

Sure makes one think, Tom. I suppose it depends on your expectations of "Paradise." Thank you. Love and peace,

Tom,
I am a firm believer in Heaven. With all the murders, rapes, robberies this world isn't Heaven for me.

Cleverly written and posed "ifs". "HERE" can be a paradise, of course. Or... so many factors in the deciding...

Tom, great write, but I do have a question; (sorry, I'm a smart ass)

If I'm dead, I'll never feel remorse, right?
Totally enjoyed.

Peace,
Dan

Live for today. Beautifully written, and gives one something to think about. Loved it, especially the tweety bird.

The pessimist in me would bet that if most people answered your questions very honestly, the answer would be a resounding - 'No.'

What type of medal do you want? I can probably find anything you like - on E-Bay!

I do try all I can to be helpful to my fellow men. I do all I can to take neighbors to their appointments etc. I want to do right by God so that in Heaven he will say Well done, gentle Lois. Helping others and doing right is what God requires of us among truth, worship, love and admiration and knowing he is the supreme God is what he wants from us.

Tom,

Won't know 'til we get there. :) I, however, choose to believe there is a Heaven - got to be better than the hell on Earth. An excellent thought provoker you pen this morning - wow. Opened my eyes!

And yes: Thank You, Lord, for allowing me to wake up this morning, for the breath in my lungs, for allowing me to live another day. Let me live it for you. Amen.(

((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
