We'Ve Only Just Begun

We've Only Just Begun                                                                                                                                            

We anticipate the promises of which they speak.                                                                                                       We embrace the kiss of luck they taught us to seek.

No doubt, sometimes we'll cry;                                                                                                                                   but we'll look to the sky and start to fly.

So many challenges are so high above our heads;                                                                                                    but we'll focus well and experience things we never read.

Our fares are paid and we're unafraid, because we've only just begun.                                                               We are sometimes unrehearsed, but always feel the oneness of our unity.

We are not rushed, and feel no compelling brevity.                                                                    We long for the evenings that refresh and make us smile;

even though we know we can only rest for a little while.                                                                                     We know that there are so many places for us to go;

but there's plenty of room for us to grow.                                                                                                                And before long, our lives will start  to glow.

Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck May 3, 2017 at 7:31 PM And if we should chance to meet this, I think, is how we would greet, Our song still waiting to be sung as we've only now just begun. What's Einstein got to do with it, do with it? Curtis Johnson June 30, 2017 at 9:01 PM That's really funny. Appreciate observation.
