 I found the key to everlasting

Tranquility. I have set it aside

So that I may never lose it.

Peace, and how wonderful it is.

 

Put your sorrow away.

Let peace enter and stay.

Too many tomorrows,

Where we forget to pray.

 

O let the good Lord

Enter my being and stay.

For I am a beggar pleading

For Him, one more day.

My grandfather was different when he told me at about 69 after a stroke and dealing with diabetes. "I'm waiting for the good Lord to come and take me away."

For myself… I'm quite happy if I disappear tomorrow and don't have another day. If I do have another day I will also remain happy and content. There is no other better way to be. Just last week I saw a video of a black hole. Maybe next week I'll see something else new. But if I don't, that will be okay, too. No sense worrying about the inevitable, is there?

One more day!... and I see each day granted as a new beginning. There are always things waiting for us to do. We are never wasted. God does not create wasted people. Each one of us is unique, and everyone serves a purpose in life.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
