This World No Longer Beckons

This world no longer beckons No snow-capped mountain or raging sea ever again to move me... Yonder lighthouse beams for others My vision's fixed above Heaven's port my succor I yearn only for her shore Entry in 'A Brian Strand Premiere Choice' contest September 11, 2022

Though I think I understand that feeling Gershon, I hope you will be here for a spell longer!! The world may not beckon but it needs your humor!!! Happy Monday!

Oh, I'm afraid I'll be around for a bit longer. Just came through a colonoscopy -- ugh! -- with a clean bill of health.
