Swimming in The Sea of Life
Smoke and ash, shocking wave
Smiles dashed, concerns grave
Fear shakes a fickle heart
Riding currents, a new start
Fire extinguished, a faithful tide
Humbled soul, newfound pride
Heavenly angels, sing sweet tunes
Moves heart to fruitful blooms
Feeling not a moment’s strife
Swimming in the sea of life.
Thank you dear friends for being you, “heavenly angels”. This tough turn on the road of my life has been accentuated with beautiful souls offering prayers and well wishes that keep this one afloat. If I never said it before, I say it now, I am blessed and enriched for having encountered all of you in this world. As for the unasked question, I have been in God’s tender mercy so far. No pain, no pity, no sickness from treatments, and magnificent people reminding me that we are all perfection, sculptured by God’s very own hands, blessed with talents and abilities that can only be described as immeasurable! And all of you have embraced your magnificence. Love it!
Be well, stay well,
George
