Ship-Of-Time ~*Marge Tindal*~  From the fountains of youth to immersion in baptismal pool I boarded the ship-of-time for the ride of my life~ The river of life's waters coursing through me each tributary awash with new Gorging the path of watered journey deep within the making of me~ Sometimes I challenged the river swimming for life against the current pulled downward in swirling thoughts so dark that I was sure it was my last gulp only to be bobbled to the surface held afloat by the lifeline of friends~ I have held hands with the teardrops of many knowing the sure breath-of-death watching the currents of time pulling them away~ Still I traversed the swell of life's waters surviving as best God would allow Somehow ... and somewhere in-between joy overran the banks of me spilling onto the shoreline of others~ Now in this time of life's river voyage ending I face the mighty ocean of His grace sharing my soliloquy with God knowing He sees beyond my face~ Thank you, Lord ... for giving me the waters of life from which to drink There were times I felt alone and surely on the brink of drowning Always, always ... you gifted me a reason to cling to the anchor of you And now I humbly beg passage aboard the ship of afterlife where the redemption tides will sweep me peacefully onto that golden shore of Heavenly promise forevermore~ ~Inspiring Artwork of Danny Hahlbohm~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Hiya Margie, this is absolutely lovely, what a picture, image, illustration, talk about suffering for us, do we really know what suffering is? Beautifully written and formed. Your a dear sweet woman. |

Thank you, everyone~ Inspire comes from the darndest places~ This one arrived as simply as running a tub full of warm bath water ... somehow the water theme ran through to my inking well and landed with these beautiful thoughts~ I am thankful for each inspiring moment, regardless of how cold the bath water becomes while I pen it~  Ahhh, such is the life of a poetess~  *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |
