Face the World

Time once again, for Mike's Poetry Corner.

This edition of Mike's Poetry Corner features a short poem I wrote nearly two decades ago while serving an LDS mission in Phoenix, Arizona.

"Face the world," He said. I said, "No, I'll die." Says He, "You're never dead, Unless you never try."
So I did, and I died. Now I'm dead, 'cause I tried.
But I remember what He said and He is not a liar. So though my body may be dead, my spirit's lifted higher.



Mike's Poetry Corner has been brought to by the letters M and S and the number 36.

Interesting poetry, bro. I did not know you dabbled in that. So what was your inspiration?

Rebecca said...

Interesting! That is a perfect word for it.

I don't know that I had an inspiration. I'm just weird that way.

I have some other poetry that is equally weird, but you'll have to wait for another edition to get it.
