Readers, I thought many could identify with this. I am having a problem with the way it looks with gray shaded before the words. Excuse this, as I do not know why it looks this way, but will work on it. Katie

 Dear Eternity,

My sins

Have found

Me out

Of touch

With health -

Of bounds

With wealth -

And I flounder

In slough of despond.

But I meant well -

Weller than I did.



My days

Consequently

Are shorter

Than I'd hope

When I burned both ends,

But all along I knew

I didn't really care

To loiter

Along the way to you,

Dear Eternity.

I love this - it says a lot, in my mind, about how briefly we are here, how well our intentions, and how we recognize that eternity is our true destiny. Well said!

The shading is fine. I think it adds something to the piece. I like the way you wrote this. Says a lot.

Haha! Gotta love this, Addie! And the shading doesn't bother ME nearly as much as the confounded music people subject their readers with as they try to read their poetry. I have trouble thinking coherently normally, never mind the added distraction of music. I loved this one. Loved it.
