Said and Done

When all is finally said and done
and the time for quiet passing has come
if one person holds the key of me
then I shall pass, content, happy…

for this gift of life, and living
compels me to gift, and in giving
turn and smile, saying to you
all along, you had these clues…

for here is good, and here is bad
right, wrong, happy, sad
up, down, shallow, profound
and everything comes back around

do unto others, turn my cheek
calm the wild, help the meek
close my eyes, in faith to seek
admire the strong, assist the weak

and above all, honor the gifts
that come in time of hope, to lift
and turn none of them away
but thank the Lord for these, today

so if any of these, you might use
all is yours, no cost, you choose
for at my passing, I gift to thee
a gift of faith in an eminent key

Kari love, That is the most perfect example of your art ever. Utterly truly one of your best. Isn't it amazing what you can do while you're out to dinner, and someone has a laptop   And this is in between courses. Next it's dessert, chocolate mousse, Mmmmm.
Almost as dreamy as this dear heart.
Take care
