Diamonds in my Hand...




http://sundaywhhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifirl.wordpress.com/

They tell us that time is a flicker so fleeting
That life is a spark on this planet of dirt
Its moments drowned in the fire and ice meeting
Of laughter and living and silence and hurt

I dare not walk through it in mindless oblivion
Trapped twixt a sky-line of duty and rest
I’ll cherish each day as a priceless possession
Each moment a diamond deserving my best

    "Time is a flicker so fleeting" is a wonderful line, among many wonderful lines! Well done!

    I love what you did with the wordle words. Yes, Janet, each moment IS a diamond. We each have to keep reminding ourselves of that.

    (And thanks for prayers for me the other day in my blog. They were appreciated and NOT unnoticed.)
