Before I Go (Epigram #1)

Should this be my last night on earth

I shall say this with glee

From womb to tomb, from birth to death

I'm yours and yours I'll be.

Ah Mae... how 'womb to tomb' just rolls off the tongue. A phrase so simple which has never occurred to me before. Well done....

Very well put Jason! ?I suppose you're right. It's sheer temptation sometimes, you know!?

Nothing wrong with that so nothing to forgive. Eloquence is the brush we paint with, so there's nothing wrong with using a bit of flourish sometimes.

Oh yes! Happens all the time... Some times I strive to find something worth saying just to use a nice phrase... May God forgive me?
You too, huh?!?

Thank you my dear Jason! I had it in my notebooks for far too long and didn't know what to do with it. Seems like it fit well into this one!
Thank you ?

I do love this for it's brevity and the amount of meaning packed into it, but my favourite part of all is, "From womb to tomb," that my friend is just brilliant.

A brief poem which carries hundreds of words. A gem

Thank you for this
