I'm Glad That Time is Full of Days



No matter what, for better or worse,
tomorrow today will be over!
(Forever After)
Let's do all we can to make it a good one,
All for the glory of its Giver, God!



I’m glad that Time is full of days
Still waiting to unfurl
Between hurt’s hurdles and dismays
An oyster with a pearl

Between summer and winter’s snow
A world of woodland-wicks aglow
Then winnowed leaf by leaf

Between the dolor of farewell
The color of surprise
Of sun gold where blue shadows fell
O’er hello’s laughing eyes

Between trails blazed and settled dust
The bittersweet finesse
Of trials teaching us to trust
And treasure/define happiness

Between desire and despair
The opportunity
To take a leap of faith to where
Tomorrow used to be

To walk to years beyond our reach
With little girl and boy
And hold the small hands bound to teach
Old teachers about joy

I’m glad that time is full of days
Still waiting to become
New melodies of thankful praise
To He, whom days come from

I’m glad that time is full of days
With nights tucked in between
Like phantom, featherdown duvets
On Bygone’s evergreen

Col.3:17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, 
do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 
giving thanks to God the Father through him.
