With Goals In Tow

I’ve fewer days ahead of me
than those I have been blessed to see.
Though time moves on so rapidly,
	my hopes sustain.

God still has plans for me, I know.
He’s guiding me as to and fro
I move through life with goals in tow
	that never wane.

Have I implied that my mind teems
with brilliant thoughts and sky-high dreams,
that life is bursting at the seams
            with nonstop gain?

Not so! My peace and happiness
come from relationships that bless
my life, all through the Lord’s largess.
	I can’t complain.

I feel fulfilled when I complete
a piece with rhyme and steady beat.
Though it won’t thrill the true aesthete,
	it’s not in vain!

Gershon Wolf Date: 8/25/2020 9:27:00 PM Aw, so sweet. Of course(!) it's not in vain, Janice. It thrills us deplorable (?) non-aesthete types, which speaks volumes already as to its true worth. I.e., it has actual value in and of itself. And it inspires us to think and write more, to write and think more --- to sharpen our minds and our pens. A great cause! Thanks, Gershon Login to Reply Janice Canerdy Date: 8/26/2020 5:49:00 AM Gershon, your words of encouragement have made my day! Janice

Joe Dimino Date: 7/30/2020 6:48:00 AM For sure; anything we do with good, honest intentions is not entirely without reward and merit. Though it is somethings difficult to discern above the clatter of unappreciative others:) God and you are majority. Very nicely written. Thank you for sharing.
