Of Birthdays and Time


       Another birthday comes around
          a reckoning of time

       What have I done with mine ~
          before too long I’ll be in the ground

God's lost and found. Everything is reclaimed and reunited with Father. He loves his creation dearly. The messes are ours. Blessings my friend.

I like this notion of yours, Joe. I.e., that birthdays are God's lost and fond. At least it's a planned connection once a year. Better than many have these days. Thanks, gw

Hi Gershon, we must enjoy some of the pleasures in life i.e. laughing, food, music, good people, pets, nature, art, etc. One of my favorites is laughter, it actually massages your “innards.” So whenever it’s my time to pass, I can look back on the good times too. Great penning. Shalom :)
