Poem
"Time is the thief you cannot banish." ~ Phyllis McGinley, Writer, 1905 - 1978 When I was young and felt so alive with joy knowing that blessings abounded all around me I welcomed the moments, striving to know more than merely a moment, but hours and months soon I would know that years held most truths One truth that sought me out from my thoughts is the knowledge that time surely is like a thief it takes from the heart and spirit all the hope for second chances to relive the present day knowing that what comes next will be old age Time takes the present and makes it into the past reminds us that we’re going to dash through seasons without ever sewing all the seeds we may need to never obtaining the harvest that we so desire to see from hearts who have known us throughout our history Awakening in maturity, ripe from all the pains we’ve seen there is soon to be a living will and all other things that reveal the sad and painful truth that we will only be on this earth for a brief moment, hurrying through on our way to eternity where we meet with the One who holds the key to our fate Whispers of faith resonate through our spirits and teach us to listen to the silence and breathe prayers into the heavens where the miracle of life brought us to this place in time painting mysterious hues of azure skies with iridescent light compassion flowing from the One who gave us this time Writing Challenge - Quote Inspired - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France November 9, 2020
