A Child's Expectation

A Child’s Expectation

We began our life with a child’s expectation;
not comprehending what lay ahead;
charting our course; in search of salvation;

Death began his inexorable journey at birth;
the final resting place for one and all;
the choices, we make; determine

The Gift God Gave Me

The Gift God Gave Me

I feel a sadness; in the depths of my being;
I’m old; and living alone;
I know; I’ve come from a realm, unseen;

I feel as tho I lived more than one life;
I’ve loved; and

Living In Ecstasy

Living In Ecstasy

As I grow old; my lovers become dreams;
