HERE.
I am here
for but the blink of an eye
having no faith
in eternity’s promises.
So I will
for a few brief years
pause to gaze in awe and wonder
at dawn’s new born glory
each day a precious gift
once gone never to return.
My life
sweetened with laughter
mellowed by tears
racing towards
time’s endless night
burns briefly
like a lightening bolt
in the midnight sky.
This life
my one
my only
my all.
This wonderful poem was written by Jeannie Herzog around the occasion of her 60th birthday.
so true
