No Regrets

Life is too short to wake up with regrets

Cherish the good times, the people we met,

The lessons they taught you

The things you have seen

Relish the memories

The places you've been

Think of the laughter

Think of the sun

Bask in the warmth

Of things you have done

Your life and your choices

The decisions you've made

 Find joy each one

And smile as they're replayed

 Snowfall in Jerusalem

Have you seen the snow

falling in Jerusalem?

He's sending it down like wool

to carpet the stoney streets

He sits upon His throne,

the Ancient of Days

His vesture, white

He sends his messengers

refreshing the soul

cleaning the streets

white as milk

Autumn '21

Grain trucks are rolling by

bringing in the harvest

One by one

filled to the brim

steadily rolling down the lane

Trying to beat the rain

Is the owner of the field happy?

Are his yields enough

to sustain his flock 'til the next season?

He's the keeper of the fields

Will I be ready when He comes

to hew me down

to haul me off to feed His flock

Am I ready before the storm comes?

It's very quick, the farmer hustles

He wants to be home by dinner

Many fields to chop

Planted early spring, seems so long ago

Get the harvest in before the storm comes

Grain trucks hurry by

Must be home for dinner
