The Beckoning.

Goldfinch60

I reach the middle of the bridge and look down,

There flowing beneath me is My River.

Such a long time since I have walked

Along its beautiful side.

My life has changed,

Free time is sparse,

The love of my life is struggling,

I have to be with her and always will be,

The vow in sickness and in health was sworn

And is so meaningful,

Even more so now.

 

As I look at My River I remember,

Remember those times

When I was with it every morning.

Those beautiful times,

When nature spoke to me

And My Spirit joined me.

We walked together in awe,

In awe of the life that I had.

The glory of art,

The beauty of words,

The wonder of music,

They are all about me

As nature comforts me

Even in my troubled times.

 

I will return to My River

And will walk by it once more,

Walk once more with My Spirit,

As eternity beckons me

Towards my Eternal Life.

                      The words of The Beckoning call out to me. I understand My River in so many ways it gave me chills my friend. I look forward to reading through your catalog of fine work.
