Karma is the best way...

My past was not very nice, So my health issues are making me pay the price, I pray for a better life or death, Karma will be payment for my last breath… Time it takes to discover a better self, This told to me by reading the books on my shelf, I have become of late a better person, Hopefully never again my life does worsen… I believe in karma with all due strength, Hard to keep my past though at arm’s length, But try as I might, my past stays in my past, Hopefully right up to my breath’s last. © -ed- 2/19/19

By innuendo you are writing, "I pray for a better life or [better] death." So you left me thinking about what a "better death," would be like. I guess it would be this� Quick and painless. Otherwise, something like� Long and agonizing, would certainly not be preferred by you or I. But like you said, Karma has its way of operating regardless of what we pray or think.

Good one.

What is important is that we live each day for that moment and time. The past is not as important as our future, and present moment. Loved your poem today, Have a good one .

I've prayed that same, exact prayer for the last few years, Ed, may yours come true.

I agree with Tom about "attitude." I admit it is hard for me to be positive in this world in chaos. I do appreciate where you are "coming from" on this philosophical topic though. Love and peace to you,

Regis.

ED ...

As ewe well know by now,
if yew wanna dance,
You gotta pay the Piper !

The trick now is to try ur best to be Positive!
Attitude is akin to a Bank Account. If all you do is
Negative withdrawals, that�s all you can get.
Positive Deposits are the key to good Karma.

So ��> HEAL DAMMIT !
