C-P 35 and 36

C.P. # 35 ====== I'll follow if You lead, Your Path of life, help me to read Help us not to bend or break But stand, for You, for Goodness sake I followed close a road and found I'd plodded into mired ground Where preacher lived high on a hill Paid by the sheep, the poor at will He mocked and shocked as hearts were torn Where sheep be shorn, eaten and worn 'For' he touted to the poor 'The workman is worthy' He meant him, for sure We didn't quickly get away, But in Your Light we wish to stay Thank You God You lead us still, Far from that preacher on a hill C.P. 36 ==== Time is of the essence Which drifts back on the breeze in essences, aromas Of the eucalyptuse leaves Suddenly transported And there we are at play Collecting stones and seashells Off the San Francisco Bay

It's lovely to look back at our past and you wonder where did it go. Tom

It is amazing how life feels so long and stretched out before us while we are young, but like a vapor when we look back on it. My husband and I were talking about this subject last night remembering New Year's Eve 1999, at a friend's party as we all counted back the seconds to the new Year, and new millennium, we were all a tad anxious that at the stroke of midnight the lights would go out! Our friend's teen son and ours had cooked up a practical joke to beat al, at the stroke of midnight they were thinking it would be a riot to switch off the main breaker to the house! They didn't end up doing it for fear they'd cause heart attacks, so, they confessed their idea to us all instead. It seems just like yesterday. We are now one quarter of the way into the first century of the new millenium. How can it be?
