But What Does It Matter? Poem by Reshma Ramesh

But What Does It Matter?

Rating: 5.0


After all, tears will dry
time will fly
wounds will heal
memories will fade
agony will perish
despair will choke
sorrow will sigh
grief will drown
anger will starve
feelings will numb
on my death bed
my pain will die with me
until then
what does it matter?

Don't despair. We are here, and while you've got poetry, it can be your Saviour. The poem speaks volumes and you have written it so well Reshma. top marks Karin Anderson

Indeed..but we still try to live well with others as with self and as we were intended. As after all that is what matters.So when the race is run we say hear well done my good and faithful servant!
