Dear dead me… a poem

Write a letter to your 100-year-old self. Dear Joseph A century spun, Joseph, a life complete, Now hushed in slumber, where shadows meet.

Three things… a poem

What are three objects you couldn't live without? Oh, life’s a ride, a wild parade, With three dear things that never fade. First up, the Bible, my holy guide, For wisdom, peace, and truths inside. It tells me “love thy neighbor,” sure, But also helps me stay mature— When Wi-Fi’s slow, I turn to prayer, …
