With more behind me than in front of me,<\/h6>\n
I sit many times and think<\/h6>\n
Why am I still here, Lord?<\/h6>\n
I sense him smile and wink.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
Take one day at a time, for now, faith is.<\/h6>\n
Come, sit with me in the heavenly places.<\/h6>\n
Take one moment at a time I\u2019ll fill all the empty spaces.<\/h6>\n
Child, this isn\u2019t your final home.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
YHWH! YHWH! I breathe you in and out.<\/h6>\n
YHWH! YHWH! Forgive me when I doubt.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
Sitting in the stillness, I feel the wind gently blow.<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s not over yet, my precious one, be patient as you go.<\/h6>\n
You may grow old and tired; and feel as ancient as the skies.<\/h6>\n
But little one, listen, the soul never dies.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
Keep walking, serving and loving, so that others will see and know<\/h6>\n
That life isn\u2019t really about pleasure or great gain.<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s about the one who gives them life, to live and thrive and remain.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
Remember, it\u2019s in the heavenly places<\/em> where you\u2019ll find true peace.<\/h6>\n
Growing old is a gift that many do not receive.<\/h6>\n
Count each day as a blessing; old souls are rare you see\u2026<\/h6>\n
Spend your time in heavenly places<\/em>, it\u2019s home where you\u2019ll never leave.<\/h6>\n
