The Wonderful Wonder of Is

Pondering the word IS as I sweep, scrub, polish because it IS a lovely spring day for cleaning or whatever else one IS inclined to enjoy:)

Is lives twixt Was and Will

It does not let us see

Over the morrow’s garden-wall

But exists present-ly

Is does not reimburse

Yesterday once again

But always spills its moment-purse

With fresh-spun ilk to spend

Is, is all that we have

But oh, IS, is enough

For we live in the blessedness

Of this 'IS'; God IS love
