Treading I tread a path that billions tread Some alive but most are dead Lit by lanterns fueled by why Washed by tears of time and cry To this I add one flicker more To light the way of shadows door A candlelight that bears my sigh This trifling flick of modest try I serve it to eternity On platters of fraternity Burn the tallow as all the rest And try my very, very best I as others would pierce the night And read the white as more than light Tread the rainbow past its bend And find this treasure at its end It’s than I’d draw a map for thee A path to go and set you free |

So many wander through life with eyes so dead they do not see. You my love have lived, not squandered your time on earth. You have used all of your senses and proved it so. You deserve many more days with your loved ones. We at PIP are among those who who pray you have them. love to you Sy , martyjo |
