As death comes closer to my door
my eyes, though weak, seem to become clearer
about what I see about me.
Something about the look of God’s creations
that I did not notice before now
In seeing this creation
a wonderment stops my breath.
It it the sound of wind singing
that I had not noticed before now?
Is it the vastness of the night skies filled with a beauty
beyond words that I cannot describe?
I find myself noticing beauty in people
a beauty that before
I did not see.
I see beauty in the old, the sick
the visions that I used to turn away from seeing
but no longer do.
I feel the pain and joy of other people
I used to not feel such things.
The laughter of a child
ringing like a heavenly bell,
pealing in a meadow
sounds in my ears.
Is this God’s way of saying
“Look at what you have missed earlier in your life?”
I am not sure
but I do know
now I have become more thankful.
More thankful each day
for the gifts God has given to me.
I seem to be getting closer to heaven each day.
I now know, what I see, hear and Feel
are all but a small part of what will be in God’s world.
I can only hope
that in this twilight of my life
I might become worthy
in the areas that I have been unworthy.
May I be worthy of the love and blessings
He has given me in this life.
Thank you God
for this day.

A ship in the sea of life
riding each wave of life
seeking the warm sun of each day
the beauty of each dream as night falls
is never lost
as it heads toward the curve
of each horizon.
Storms will blow
onward do we flow
in love and courage
by His hand.
Tomorrow brings the knowing in His love
the vastness of the ocean
is not so alone.
As long as we believe
we will never be alone
for His love
surpasses all of this
this and time beyond
this brief sea of life.

You can tell a lot about a person
in how they treat their dog.
I have hear that dog
cry out for her master
many a day
and nights.
She is about fifteen now.
She has endured tempertures in the teens
while being left outdoors.
She has swellered in heat above 100
while being left outdoors.
An electronic fence guards her escape from this prison.
The fence is in the front of the house
no less.
Many a morning does the smell of her poop
fill the air of their neighbor’s yard.
Her Master has been featured
in a well-known community magazine
hugging this dog no less.
You sure can tell a lot about a person
in how they really treat their dog.
