Good Morning, Lord ~
I am sitting out on our front port
in the dim coolness that is early morning
thinking about You.
Can it really be 48 years
since we started "going steady"?!?!
Is it okay that my heart hurts a little today,
that there is a yearning,
an emptiness within me?
You give such good gifts, Lord!
I listen and see the world you created wakening around me ~
the birds chirping,
the sky lightening,
the smell of our lily blooming.
I see the neighborhood begin to stir.
And I am reminded that life goes on.
And it is a good life You have gifted me!
Forty-eight years ago, Al.
Four and a half years ago, Lanny.
And I am profoundly grateful!
But for a little while,
is it okay if my heart is heavy
and I grieve just a bit?
