Of Options and Ownership

Whether it comes in pink or gray wrapping, it requires from us the same.I took the gray photo today;) The pink one was a year ago when we were enjoying summer-like temps.

It comes, like many before

Its circuit from east to west

Requires from us nothing more

But just to do our best

By gifted breath we learn

It teaches, tries and tests

This day of no return

Deserves our very best

Before the veil of night

Shrouds its merit in rest

Will we have borne its plight

With our utter best?

 

For we are not our own

Nor by our own hand blessed

So love behooves us then

To give this day our best

It comes like many before

Traversing east to west

Dawn draws ajar its door

A day to do our best

...but to this man will I look, even to him

that is poor and of a contrite spirit and

trembles at my word. Isa. 66:2
