Until My Dying Day

UNTIL MY DYING DAY

There are few things that can be done

Until our dying day

And fewer ways still

To assure more hearts are won.

Except for writing words

That flow magically from the heart

With rhythm, no matter our will

To hide what will impart

For,

Creation is creation;

A smorgasbord of wonder

A buffet, a feast of joy

Ne’er to be put asunder

Humankind through its selfishness

Has yet to understand

The likeness to be had in those

Who walked ‘ore this land

So, hats off to my predecessors

Who light the way my path

Kudos to my intercessors

Who lift me as I waft

For

I ne’er chose this way for me

Lo, ‘twas given me

By what most consider a tragedy

Joy was given by thoughts of Thee.

In the center of the circle

I link the past to the future

And share the promise of forever

To every new believer.
