Inner Glow

Hairs on the head change to white with the years Pain is the order of the day The rain is beginning to fall but inside there is an inner glow which shines on despite one's troubles Deep in the soul the inner light glows Illuminating the spirit and keeping us ready to withstand the harsh winds of mortality Perhaps this inner glow will continue to shine after we go on the trip from which there is no return As I sit here in Jerusalem All I can do is hope that the "inner glow" is a reality not the stuff of dreams But a really tangible thing Something we can depend on as we face the days ahead
