Ancient

Faded flowers stood in a vintage vase.
One by one, petals fell upon the tattered case.
Placed inside was an ancient book~
Where time stood still.
Nimble fingers, opened the book, to take a look inside.
She saw within its pages the mirror of her soul.
Peering back at her was a young girl, confident and bold…
A face she barely remembered, eyes kind and wise…
She folded the book, then closed her eyes…
Memories~
As petals fell and died!

So, teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12 New King James Version

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
