A life is but the blinking of the Great Creator's eye.
What we do with that short moment is the reason we are here.
The price we pay for living is the knowledge we will die.
A life is but the blinking of the Great Creator's eye.

God gives us just the time we need to get our wings and fly.
What happens is not always the way it would appear.
A life is but the blinking of the Great Creator's eye.
What we do with that short moment is the reason we are here.

It seems in the autumn of life (after many years) the realization of how short it is, only then appears. I love your subject matter as well as your poetry.

I loved this, my favorite saying is that it does not matter what they put on my tombstone - but make sure you put "She lived every day"! This sends a wonderful message.

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

How true! We don't really realize just how short it is. For time is nothing with God, but I would imagine our life here, is but a blink of His eye.

And what we do with that time, is so very important. Sometimes we lose sight of that.
Great message!

I know not what the future holds,
but I know Who holds the future.

I don't question YOUR existance - GOD
