Preparing for Afterlife-
SHARING MY GREY HAIR
“About the Journey”
Lots of things happen in this life
That Gray hair is a symptom of.
Trust, they did not come cheaply.
And it does not prove me be wiser.
However, it does show evidence that
I have been forced to deal with change.
Not that I should bog you down with
What may have caused my grayness;
Yet, I intend to tell you, that
I survived plenty of daily and hourly
adversities.
Let us call them
“Gray hair, making moments”.
Grateful I am still, for life, sparing my life!
I have become more observant.
And more aware of death.
My gray hair has taught me
not wait for death;
Nor set any date.
But let death wait on me.
As I survive yet another blow.
I am yet stubborn and relentless;
But with each blow that it is not fatal.
I bargain with fate and have time again
To mingle with my youthful mind.
Mingling with my natural mind.
Inspires the co-mingling of my God mind!
As I recollect which of my gifts
I love the most, or;
Which experience has helped to build
A sturdier foundation of character?
I can now better prepare myself;
By acknowledging my shortcomings.
As I voyage clairvoyantly into my inner self;
I am a child again; Feeding upon the Pablum of
God’s expectations, A taste of the hereafter.
I pontificate upon my flaws and
carry on in correcting them.
So, with you, I share, “my gray hair”.
