I´d write for you a rainbow

I´D WRITE FOR YOU A RAINBOW

by Ann Weems

If I could, I´d write for you a

rainbow

And splash it with all the

colors of God

And hang it in the widow of

your being

So that each new God´s

morning

Your eyes would open first

To Hope and Promise.

If I could, I´sd wipe away

your tears

And hold you close forever in

shalom.

But God never promised I

could suffer for you,

Only promised I could love you.

That I do.

Future Tense

Future Tense

In the waiting room
   I sit.
In the not yet here,
   can´t do anything to rush it.
Want to do something
   meaningful
Want to look back
   from ahead
and nod; it was a worthwhile
   life.

Eh May 2009

George Bernard Shaw

Life is no brief candle to me.  It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
