When is the time? |

When is the time to touch the snow, or count the falling autumn leaves, or catch a firefly as it passes, or break the arrow and the bow? What time in life is memory born and how much survives until our death? How many breaths until our rest and how many mourners there to mourn? When is the time to accept the grief that always held you to that place, or catch a glimpse of yesteryear in a sweet and silent face? When is the time to catch the tear before it trickles down your cheek, to cease and promise not to weep, to rise above despair? When is the time to gain from loss and learn from what we left behind, to stack the building blocks of mind and struggle back to our feet? When is the time to raise your voice and risk the violent trends of hate, or stumble into the wilderness when the hour is dark and late? When is the time to burn your fears and find new hope in days unborn, to renew your heart through tenderness and find it is yet unworn? |

I think you know the answer to that. Life goes on for a little while and we have to appreciate the small things. I see you do. Great read |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Michael, I agree with what Martie said, the quantities are invariant and it is time and time again when we ust count our many blessings and genuflect upon our primrose path and forgive! (sigh) This is touching, sweet friend, I love this, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michael, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
