CONTEMPLATION
Contemplation…
Meditation, rumination, reflection, musing, thoughtfulness, prayer, remembrance, thinking, preparation, envisaged, intent, awareness, projection, prediction, introspection and the list goes on…
Where do I begin,
And, moreover, will it end?
To think, to prayer, reflect and say,
Here you go, my friend!
I find I often wonder even when I concentrate.
I stumble and I blunder,
Beneath this self-made weight.
Who am I? Why am I here?
What is my mission in this life?
But, there’s blessed reassurance,
When in my eye, I see my wife.
And off I go again, down another winding road.
This brain within my head,
Shifts lanes and here I go.
Memories of my babies,
Who are babies… not anymore!
Out of college, married with children,
Now I’m Papa… how I adore.
Adore the little treasures,
God has put into my life.
Contemplation finds its sweet spot,
And in this, I am alive.
