THE HEART HAS HEARD

Significant time

Ticking away,

Not only the close

Of another day,

 

But a month

Comes to an end,

And before we know it

The year will end.

 

Once it is gone

It never again exists

Except in photos

We carry in fist.

 

Memories we cherish

Yet some not made

And if we are careless

Photos disappear or fade.

 

Pictures may vanish

For a plethora of reasons,

And our past events

May fade through the seasons.

 

But the greatest loss

Are the memories we don’t make

Because of the effort

It may take.

 

The now is the present,

We mustn’t squander it away.

When we tuck children in

We have one less day.

 

We should make moments count

As we live each hour.

Don’t allow “life”

To steal our power.

 

Be not too busy

To make moments count

Because the ones squandered

Seem to mount.

 

And children grow up

And we are alone.

An occasional visit,

Or moments on phone.

 

But nothing counts

Like living “real-time”.

We must enjoy the NOW

Before age confines.

 

Speak love in action

If we can’t say it in word;

However love is expressed

The heart has heard.

 

Thank You God for the rain we had today.

Thank You for Your peace in my heart.

Thank You that I have lived and enjoyed this beautiful month of April.

 

GOD BLESS YOU ON THIS BEAUTIFUL RAINY SABBATH!
