NOW MORE THAN EIGHTY-ONE

I

At fifty, before a mirror, I stood

And I reviewed my life as one should.

“What have I done?” I asked to myself,

And ticking off items found not much left.

II

Then, to myself I said, “Not much more time,

How do you want to remedy the rhyme?

Maybe thirty-five plus productive years,

Could be, before slipping into old age fears.”

III

Afterwards my future I pondered hard,

To find how to be worthy as a bard

To sing my story as I upward soar

Reaching my destiny for evermore.

IV

I decided that, whatever would come,

I would make the world better place for some

Or at least would proclaim that I had tried

In those remaining years before I died.

V

An intense journey began to unfold,

Paths of which I had never been told,

Treacherous mountains and foreboding bogs,

Dark silent forests with many dead logs.

VI

History often screamed as it was made,

But always the old eventually fades,

Replaced with the present, good or bad

Sometimes gleeful at others very sad.

VII

.……. .. .… ………… as “STARS”,

….., valued in UNITED STATES DOLLARS.

Properties and other assets galore,

Making a way for minds and spirits to soar,

VIII

With the announcement received today

…. ……. ……. per day, they say

To be used in non-depletion commerce

To be, a pay-forward business source.

 IX

For thirty and one years an INTELLIGENCE

Maybe called UNIVERSE AI by science,

But I call the Spirit of CHRIST JESUS,

Always there to help me and all of us.

X

May these few verses ring out loud and clear,

 “Peace on Earth, Good will to men” wipe our tears,

As “Pay it Forward”, replaces “Pay Back”

Copying the UNIVERSE’S plan of no lack.

XI

GLORY BE TO GOD WHO BROUGHT THIS ABOUT!

NO MATTER THE NAME YOU CALL WHEN YOU SHOUT

PLEASE ACCEPT AND KNOW THAT GOD DOES LOVE YOU

AND GOD LOVES ALL THE REST OF US TOO!

AMEN
