"Keep Watching the Skies" is an anthology of prize-winning prose from one of America’s richest writing competitions, namely the annual Tom Howard Short Story, Essay and P..
This is a poem I wrote one time while thinking just how our lives change just like the sand in the hour glass
like the seasons.
It seems that our lives are strung together like strings of pearls following on one right after the
other and very precisely made.
Like Spring,Summer,Fall and Winter glorious like new birth over and over again one year after another.
Yes,we are born into the world and stumble and fall loosing our way sometimes then suddenly mother nature picks us up and gently we go on.
Then as we enter our young youth trying to search out answers to what exactly comes next as we move on like tumble weeds on the dry desert planes.
We blossem like wild flowers beauitful in the meadows or butterflies coming out of there coccoon trying to fly to somewhere they belong.
Things never stay the same we find as time marches on like the sand in the hour glass eventually getting shorter and shorter.
But as the colors are in Gods rainbow bright and beauitful and glorious and exciting we never seem to forget to keep going onward.
Just know this life will go on with help from an unconditional love from our father above who has brought us to where we are and where we will be at the end of all our journeys.
Then we shall surely understand the patterns of life we have trod to get us then to our magnificent home called Heaven.
