~The Face of God~

I do a lot of thinking

as I lay awake at night

I think about the past

the present, and the flight

of all the Time behind me;

with fewer years ahead

I hope to live a long time

I don't look ahead with dread......

My life has been a circus

complete with acrobats and clowns

and topsy-turvy twirlers

all full of ups and downs

Hours of love and laughter

and moments filled with tears

I'm glad I've had each one of them

to sprinkle through the years

My path has been quite crooked

I've tripped, I've slipped, I've trod;

If I'm lucky at the edge of time

I may see the face of God.
