The Way Time Is...

A year ago today hubby had a surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his bladder. 

Thankfully his check-ups to this point show no return of it and we are glad,

but as I recall thinking how I'll be SO relieved when this is behind us (the anxiety etc.and we are!) 

...here we are, a year later where Hope and Trouble have changed their outfits but never leave!

It seems we always have fresh cares to 'cast upon the Lord'!

(1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.)

 “Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you; 

He shall never permit the righteous to be moved” 

(Psalm 55:22)

Be careful; while we wait

For morrow’s bud to bloom

The Way Time Is scatters today

Like petals on a tomb

Be prayerful; while we wait

For gates to ope or close

The Way Time Is never returns

The petal to the rose

Be thankful; while we wait

For days to come or go

For soon The Way Time Is will be

The petal on the snow
