Those Things Denied

Kurt Philip Behm

Today is for the living

 fate yet to take its toll

 

The reaper’s threats lie cold and bare

 when not yet on his roll

 

Life belongs to those who bleed

 with joy and pain redressed

 

The will to live—Your love to give

 those things denied to death

    Kurt,

    A fine thought to begin
    the day...

    “Today is for the living...”

    My love I give to one and all...especially the needy ones!

    ~Laura~
