“Close call ”
I opened up the oven
To check if food was done,
A blast of heat flowed upward
(Eye issues had begun)I worked to fix my error,
So fast things turn around,
What once was normal process
Is now no longer sound.Such issues of one's aging,
Identified this way–
No way we can avert them,
As we live out each day.So, Father-God, Lord Jesus,
And Holy Spirit too,
Help me engage here safely,
As I do work in You.It's like that prayer for children,
As they lay down to sleep,
And asked Your tender mercies,
And prayed their souls You’d keep.The nature of it changes,
As they mature in You;
So now as lifetime closes,
Our needs again re-new.So keep me from the errors
Of thinking life's the same,
Yet with good nature viewing
It all as shifts in game.No way we can avoid this,
It's all a part of life;
Oh well, here's to the future –
A toast – "Lachime!" – "To life!".Thanks Holy Spirit for this.
