Out Past the Breakers

What would you say if you lived to a hundred?
What bits of wisdom to pass to your kindred?
More time at work, I assure you it ain’t;
Precious to Him, the death of His saints.
The kingdom’s not open to blood or to flesh.
Fear not the twinkling when all is made fresh.
Out past the breakers, press on through the gloam.
There He awaits; be precious, be known.

I don't know what I would do those last years given to me as totally extra ones. I saw that Dr. Fauci is leaving his office at 81 years old coming this December. What a legacy. I enjoyed reading your work. Sara
