Life All In ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

If I closed my eyes, then opened them and life had passed by
I hope my joys exceeded the sorrows
My laughs superseded the tears
My successes outshined the failures
I hope I’d lived a life so full, there’d be no cause for regrets

I loved God with all my heart
Followed in His prescribed path
I pursued my dreams
Got up when I fell
And tried and tried again

I won some and I lost some
Settled for nothing but the best
I was good to my fellowmen
I gave fully of myself
I was loved and I loved

If I closed my eyes, then opened them and life had passed by
I hope I’d lived a life so full, there’d be no cause for regrets

  4. Hey lady Dee. Great writing as always. Do you also take photos? 😁 Indeed the sum total of life is that we lived with purpose and fulfilled our God given assignment on this earth. I bet for many people at the end of life, the things we worried about the most was never what occupied their final thoughts. 😊❤️

    1. Hey Anneta. Long time no see you here, hope you’re well. Thanks for the feedback. I think you’re absolutely right. We gotta live like we know we will die and it could be any moment. After all we’re not promised tomorrow.
