Blessed

Its dark outside the sun has grown tired falling to deep sleep

Early to bed with an examination prayer, a restless vigil I keep

The night has arrived, dancing shadows obscure life’s clarity

Aware of the struggles of many who exist solely upon charity

Another week comes to an end muddled thoughts descend

Life began in tears, vulnerable, in frailty, still a fragility’s blend

Time does not slow down; it moves at an ever-quickening pace

Looking into the bathroom mirror “experience” adorns the face

When I was young the air was free my hearts motives uncluttered

There was a simple innocence in every true word that I uttered

Youth had long since left the building, the journey is relentless

In its place older age shakes hands with this mortal weakness

Where once the body raced along keeping up with the ticking clock

Injuries take their toll and the official title for me is an “old crock”

Now each step taken is a triumph of deepening faith and medication

Engaging with the stuff of life is chore requiring a daily dedication

Opening a bottle to pour out the milk is a battle won by persistence

Amidst the maelstrom of living there remains a constant sacred sense

There is something greater than me, a force for good, a light that shines

A heart that beats, that calls, that sustains, a soothing fire that refines

It’s the solemnity of All Saints, a time to reflect upon what is Blessed

Grateful for a moment as life reaches out towards the words Jesus said.
