In a flash of time, immeasurable
Our lives clicked into place
More quickly than a blink of an eye
A tick of the clock,  a strike of a match
Infinite possibilities filled the space

All the yesterdays were forgotten
The rubble cleared away
The clutter out the window
All the noise, the disarray

From the chaos came the clarity
Our hearts were longing to hear
From tears, struggle and heartache
Our song rang out, crystal clear

Gone was our tunnel of blackness
With no apparent end in sight
In its place, illumination
A beckoning, shimmering light

In a flash of time, immeasurable
Our lives clicked into place
More quickly than a blink of an eye
A tick of the clock, a strike of a match
Infinite possibilities filled the space

All the tomorrows to be experienced
The climbing of mountains higher than high    
The games, the laughter, the dances
All the simple moments as life goes by

Deeply knowing and understanding
All growth comes with a cost
Weaving together, braiding tightly
Uncovering slowly, never to be lost

With a new resolve we blossom
Solidarity the theme
A line delightfully blurring
Between reality and the dream


I am a Life Purpose Coach who specializes in assisting
men and women to clarify their Life Purpose and then in turn
live true to their purpose.  Aft

The last two lines were most delightful of them all...love is coming through, very clear, distinct, and wonderful!

...you have reached inside yourself and described perfectly the moment I pray and hope for...what a marvelous moment suspended in time when that happens...this is beautiful...I love it...

All growth does come with a cost
I keep telling God I'm broke
The bill keeps coming tho

Great Job
Thanks
Connie
