Rigorous And Difficult

But if a civilized society is going to include death as a punishment and yet remain civilized, the process must be made rigorous and the decisions difficult.

Too Soon We Part…

Posted in Faith Family and Friends, Family and Friends, Poetry, tagged , , , , on August 13, 2017| Leave a Comment »

Advance the day,
Too Soon We Part
That Sooner Still
We might meet again.
Two Lifestreams
Joined and parted,
Joined and parted,
Joined and soon to part again
Our time is shared
Though miles between us be…
Our Love is shared
A bridge across the distance
My faith
In your Love
And in your strength
Binds me to you
A chain which Frees
My body to go – afar
My heart a gift
Held by you.
Too Soon we part
Love – tempered, and tested again,
My Lifestream flows (and yearns)
To join again with yours – Soon.
