To Have and To Hold
Today I sat down with my palms on my chin
I thought and thought, all I could think
Knowing very well life's conquering thick and thin
But this reality could not keep me asleep even a wink!
"Why do you keep all the good that I need?"
I asked God
"Child, what you think you need is beyond man's deed,"
He whispered so gently
"What man can give, cannot last"
"What I keep for you surpasses all past."
His voice was still, soothing and reassuring
Then my mind reeled and wheeled
Like a tape of film, I saw the faces of them that I loved so
All gone like mist
Thinking of you,
I sulked.......for someday you would be gone too
But then I smiled courageously
Knowing that when mine time comes
I will eternally have you, to love and to hold!
