MILESTONES
Roused by a rude jolt I start up from my half-slumber. Utterly clueless I move about clinging to my pet delusions in complete darkness of my past coming after me swinging a truncheon… I vaguely hear screams and yells hurled at me some time before echoing in my memory’s vault as from a distant past. But yesterday seemed like a bowl...

Milestones
When one cycle comes to its close A new one of hope begins! Let us thank the Lord in prayer For the blessing of life's milestones! Let us speak words of life and grace For this is the season of Divine recovery and transition! Darkness can no longer conceal. Let there be a light in all that we see In His perfect and timely...

The Milestones Ahead
As silence trickles behind, our message is woven ahead. We can no longer wait, we must create understanding instead. This patience we are beginning to lose. It is true that our needs have been refused. It is too late for some of us, we have already been denied. But there is hope for the children, the...

Milestones
The milestones I never surpassed. Are a reflection of the behaviors I learned to suppress. Even though I learned to talk. Fear of communication caused me to balk. As if standing on the edge of a field of tall grass. That I am afraid to put a dent in, there is no clear path to...

I wanted to take the road you had once travelled, and cross the milestones you had erected accomplished. You climbed up the soaring stairs, called the stepping stones of success, but you designed on each a springboard to ascend high and higher. I could see your footprints etched deep on the stones by the skilled sculptor of life you had made out of inimitable...

For our son’s milestones, we rejoice seeing his choice for triumph gain conquering pain. Thanking the Lord* that he strives well we let doubts quell since hope persists as heart insists. Victory by faith we do claim midst progress aim for special child notably styled. *2Chronicles 5:13 …Make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; … For he is good; for his mercy...

The Venue: Milestones
Another milestone hurdled as we decide to embark on the journey of life together Forecast predicting bad weather but as long as I have you nothing else will matter We can get through any storm, and at times it may seem harder than you imagined You may even ask is this even worth it, or is this bomb...

Milestones Toward Oblivion
Milestones Toward Oblivion by Michael R. Burch A milestone here leans heavily against a gaunt, golemic tree. These words are chiseled thereupon: "One mile and then Oblivion." Swift larks that once swooped down to feed on groping slugs, such insects breed within their radiant flesh and bones ... they did not heed the milestones. Another marker lies ahead, the only tombstone to the dead whose eyeless sockets...

Milestones
If life is one long journey, There are milestones on the way, From birthdays and bar mitzvahs To a graduation day. A wedding and a baby’s birth (Or two or three or four), A moving day or brand-new job Are other ways to score. A prize, award or write-up Of accomplishments will count When milestones are considered; There’s no average amount. But when we look back on...

When our children are born we await all their milestones keeping an eye on their developmental clock We don’t want to miss the first time they crawl, the first time they walk or they talk. As they grow we’re amazed at how quickly they arrive at each new milestone from riding a bike, heading off to school to...

MILESTONES Small stone posts stuck in the ground, mark life’s fleeting journey. From birth to death these small posts, remind us of our odyssey. Some people have stones aplenty, while others not so many. These small stones tell the tales, of all our triumphs and tragedies. A stone is etched, with our first cry. With our last breath, the last stone marks our death....
