(thank you to Logan for the inspiration, gentle smile) White clouds cover blue skies As if they wear a hidden disguise My mind wanders back in time To an age when I was in my prime Another time, another place I wore a different face Yet inside I remain the same My life is just a learning game The people and scenes evolve Unraveling a mystery to solve Patiently awaiting to see What my purpose here is to be In due time it shall be revealed Along the way my heart is healed Preparing me for the next test I will give it my very best I delve into my conscience deep Tenderly sowing awaiting to reap Of myself I willingly give For it's through others that I live They benefit from my compassion Mercy and grace are never out of fashion They endure through the years Summoned by the heart's tears When my time here is done My body will set with the sun But my spirit shall live on For that is how the victory is won All writing comes by the grace of God. -Ralph Waldo Emerson [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 07-28-2001).] |
