Life's Most Treasured Collection


I started this poem when today was brand new,
then, along came life love and turned its gem into another almost-memory!







Today is all we have to make the most of what we hold
A cup refilled with give-and-take sparkling with moment-gold
Where it is up to us to choose how we will use its gift
Or who we strive to honor with the dues dawn sets adrift

Today unfurls fresh thralls to whys and wherefores that we chase
No charge too great or small to be accomplished by God’s grace
And for His glory; hallelujah! What an enterprise
To uncover the secret to where true happiness lies

Today soon gathers up its lease of opportunities
As twilight claims another masterpiece of memories
Where what may seem quite commonplace is part and parcel of
Life’s most treasured collection of todays turned into love

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;
for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge,
nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
