and we play and we play and we play
we always have and we think we always will
yes there is a brain cell that knows that end it will

until we realize the hard way that living each day fully is not just a cliche that we have been a spendthrift that life is a onetime gift with an expiration date....wonderful expression. Loved this phone is ringing poem!

My dear Sandra Feldman, you traveled one of those roads by my side, giving me strength, instilling hope, being there when all was so dark. I pray that everyone travelling the roads where our children are in peril have an angel like you by their side ready to listen to us, ready to cry with us, ready to give us strength for another day. and another day after that. Truly, your parents should have named you Blessing. Love your dear heart.

If you had never written another word nor another poem, this masterpiece wins the universal place for human fear and pain, It deserves! The Sad Summit. I have never read anything sadder, more complete nor truer in the intense description of human pain. It's all here! I cried and felt all your tears and suffering too. And Life's unwanted knife turning and producing the most indescribable deep pain.

Very well expressed, and summed up in the last three lines: 'life is a onetime gift/ with an expiration date/ on its nameplate'.

Susan, there are some grim things in this poem, but that is reality! We really don't know when our time will come, and we need to live our lives the best we can to be ready for that day. I am going to add this poem to my list of favorites.

We all sooner or later have these moments, hours, days, months or years when our mortality slaps us in our face and reminds us we are not immortal and we have no power over our lives- only God has that. Thank you for your encouraging comments, Benjamin. I treasure them highly.

Hello- do I address you as Marjan or Shadi or? ? Thank you for reading and commenting. I try to make my poems' titles stand out a bit- kind of like someone wanting a cab jumping up and down and waving his arms
