Such a beautiful story, and God;s knows best when is time to go: ""But No! They say it's not my time.
I have more work to do.
I can't go home, until I'm old
and when my journey's through."
Right after that, her fever broke,
and Annie soon got well.
She lived until she reached old age,
and had a tale to tell"

This is interesting Beth. We have been told stories that came from our deceased relatives. " My grandfather said "Look there son, they've come to get me.
" My father said "Where Dad. I don't see anyone."
Grandfather said, "There in the doorway son. I'm going home." My mom sat up and reached for the Heavens although she was paralyzed from a stroke. She fell back and died. Good Job. Nancy:)

This a beautiful story told in a beautifully composed poem. I would vote for 1st place if it were my decision. How enchanting and inspiring it must have been when she told this story. Bless you, for sharing.
The picture is priceless. You have received a remote six-star rating.

    Thank you so much for a great review and comments. Thanks so much for the virtual six and virtual first place vote, which I'm highly unlikely to get from the review committee.

    Ha, ha! I see you are on to the Review Committee, too. What is it with them that instills such nonconfidence?

What a wonderfully written poignant poem! Indeed it is an inspiring poem that tells a wonderful story about your grandmother. She must have been a strong willed , God fearing lady. I agree with her. No one leaves this earth until the call comes. Thank you for sharing!

I am one who believes in 'your time' too. If it's your time you will die. I am not sure why I believe that, I just do. It's like God isn't finished with you, yet, it's not your time. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. Good luck.

    Thank you Barbara. I guess when you feel like that it make you realize that the timing is in God's hands and there is no reason to fear because you have no control over when ;your life will end. That is the way my grandmother felt, so she was never afraid of anything.

This is a beautiful and inspiring poem that tells a wonderful story about your grandmother, Beth. It's so wonderful that she had that dream that brought her out of her coma and back to life. She sounds like a smart and patient lady. Good luck in the contest.

Wow!!! I wish I had a six left for this powerful poem. It left chills all over me.
What a message of love and destiny. Your grandmother's experience is able to endure and inspire genera within her family, and now touches us.

Best of luck in the contest,
Rhonda

A well told story of your grandmother's recollection of a near death experience.

The story told demonstrates a strong spirituality and faith.

Nicly presented.

Good morning, Beth... What a beautiful story about your grandmother and how her faith kept her alive. I believe she saw the angels and they told her wait in line... it's not your time. With her story, she taught the family a bit about God and how it works. Loved it! Smiles, Carol

Hi Beth,

Such a great story told of your grandmother and her staying the course until her work was done. Perfect concise rhyming and rhythm to your well crafted poem. It is a strong entry for the share-a- story contest. Good luck!

A delightful poem that I enjoyed so much.

Always,
