Everything here is fine.

It could be improved on, though.

Don't take this the wrong way, but this reminds me of those positive affirmations you find on tiny posters with pictures of beach sunsets in people's bathrooms.

You reviewed my "Magickal Thinking" earlier. That started out as something like this, just some dry philosophy cut off from the meat and potatoes world. Then I jazzed it up a bit with some characters and setting and imagery, which are what this lacks.

Life is short! Nice poem! Heh, I'm not too good with constructive criticism. Look foward to reading more!

So very true. I really liked this poem a lot. I do think a lot of times what if I died now; would God say I lived a good engough life to go to heaven? Was I a good enough Christian, and did I care enough for others? Life is short; always be ready.

Great job! You were right! This did make me think! I really loved how you hit the nail on the head when it comes to awesome things in our life that we take for granted. I especially liked that you mentioned God.
Great work!

Good work, it did make me think.
One little comment (and I'm not sure if it can be considered "constructive criticism" because it's not bad). I glanced at a few of your other poems (those that I read were quite good), but I noticed that they usually fall under the same or similar structure. It's not a bad thing, but I think you should try writing some freeverse poetry, stuff that doesn't have a lot of structure, i.e. four lines to a stanza, rhyme scheme, italics, whatnot. Give it a shot, you never know what you might discover.
And hey, I'd like to see what kind of short stories or novels you have up your sleeve.

Nice message here. I like the second stanza especially - some people take a lot of things in life for granted, and you never know what to expect.

Nicely written. :) Keep writing!
