What does the future hold in store for you? A question that I ponder often on Alas, there isn’t much that I can view These mortal eyes are shaded from that dawn. Perhaps your days will play out much the same As countless others who have gone before You’ll find a love to set your heart aflame To travel with, to fly above life’s shore. Perhaps you’ll know a solitary life Preferring thus to sojourn on your way A friend or two to cushion lonely’s strife To comfort you amidst your darkest day. Whatever be the path ahead you choose Within His arms of love you cannot lose. 12/99 Denise [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 01-01-2000).] |

Very true, Denise! I enjoyed this, as I always do your work. If I may ask, was it written for anyone in particular? I was the FIRST to reply to this piece!

And I am the 2nd, I think Is this a sonnet? Whatever it is, it's lovely, Denise Liz |

Thank you, Elizabeth, Elizabeth S., Ruth, Roses Thorns and Balladeer for reading and for your kind comments! Elizabeth- I wrote this for my grandchildren and their grandchildren and so on and so on and so on....... (sometimes my thoughts go on and on and on...hehehehe) But whatever their lot in life they can be sheltered in His arms! The only place to be! Elizabeth- I think it's a sonnet...I'm never sure!

So true Denise, we can not go wrong in his arms! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |
