For life

The son of a dear friend of mine passed away yesterday. He has taken the next step in the process of our lives and goes to prepare a place for those who follow. As I sat thinking and feeling, these words came to me.


Steps are taken, day by day
Choices are made, moment to moment
Where our direction will go, only one knows.

Dreams are dreamed, night by night
Hearts are warmed, smile by smile
Who we will touch, only one knows.

Lives are lived, year to year
Loves are found and lost in life
When it will end, only one knows.

I like that. I think I need to take more time to think and feel...

Each moment is a blessing. I think we simply pass through too many of them. Not every moment has to count to us, but every moment will count against us or for us someday. The more we appreciate and experience now, the better off we'll be.
