I 
Thought there
Were golden
Leaves upon the
Ground beneath my gold
Ginkgo, alas~~ only
Yellow frost bitten grass lies
Left wet from yesterday's winter
Rain, as the almost bare limbs shiver
In the icy northwesterly brisk breeze
I, also shiver inside our heated
Home, stripped bare of youth, vitality
In the winter of my short life
Here on Jesus' created
Earth, experiencing all 
His creation's joy
Such a short time 
Just a drop 
Compared
To
  

Eternity


The Book Of John 1st Chapter

So uplifting! Our anxieties on earth are short compare to the life that God prepared for us ahead.

JCB, Your comment is uplifting. Yes, it is hard to phantom forever with our human brain. Only God can understand eternity and little children. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Your poem is very powerful, Sara. Many of us can relate to the sentiments on aging in the "short" lives we are given. The photo looks like a passageway, perhaps to a better life. Love the poem, especially the way you separated "to" and "Eternity." Hugs, Carolyn
