A time to die

he Gigan form and named it after the archenemy of Godzilla. The structure consists of 16 lines divided into seven stanzas with lines distributed two, three, two, two, two, three, and two. A bit of a rhythmic echo is added by repeating line one as line eleven and line six as line twelve. The final couplet should add some sort of twist.


A Time To Die
By Lisa Noe

There is a time to be born and a time to die,
That’s what the Bible teaches I don’t ask why.

Share yourself while you are on earth
From the time of your own birth.
Teach others what you have learned.

Give thanks to the Lord daily, this is a must,
For the Lord God sustains us.

He created a world of beauty for you and I,
Asks only for us to love one another.
Feeling ill I know death is close.

There is a time to be born and a time to die.
Give thanks to the Lord daily, this is a must.

I fear not, for The Lord is with me
I shall rise to greet Him in Heaven you see.
For He is the Savior of me

My Lord I am ready to be with You,
If it is not my time please keep me with you.
