A Sheltered Life

I protect you from the heavens, but some say I'm aloof Others have no time for me, yet trust their shoddy roof By David Kavanagh

Your words are absolutely true yet I have witnessed a close relative of ours who is agnostic but is the kindest, most giving and gentle person that I have ever known, and believes in a higher power. God sees this and also sees the women who incessantly gossip within an ethnic group but who go to church every Sunday. One day I feel that God will judge everyone and sift us out accordingly, so well penned dear friend, I foresee a winner here. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Jennifer your so right again, this is seen from an agnostic perspective, we can only truly believe what is in our hearts, it's the person that counts, not going around believing we have some right to judge others, just because we worship, thank you for kind words, cheers David

Thank you Paulette, a few interpretations in this one, some I didn't reckon on myself, which is great for the writer, cheers David

az one becomes the elder, wisdom takes over the engram; our wisdom separates the foolish past from the venerable there...there are those who choose not wisdom; and in those particular artists, we see their choices in their art (sadly with writers, i find it in their melancholic posts) I pray that i chose wisdom dear poet wisely...i luv the blooming flowerz!...much love, james
