EVALUATION

At the end of my days, how will God evaluate
the time spent with my fellow man?
Will I have satisfied the commission
of our Lord's ultimate plan?

Will I have loved my neighbor
as well as myself?
Will my "Must Do" list be completed
or still found "on the shelf"?

Did I abandon the longings,
the dreams, the vision?
Did I give in to circumstance,
the need for decision?

The still, small voice of the Spirit
breaks through-
"My child, stop fretting,
I'm not through with you."

How Old Would You BE IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW HOW OLD YOU ARE?

Old enough to know that I should feed my spirit-
So my heart never wrinkles,
nourished by the thoughts within it.
No longer reminded of chronological age,
I would not be bound by a calendar page.
I would let the young woman within
have free reign-
Who knows what positive things
I would gain.
