To Embrace Life

(Ash Wednesday 2022)

Letting go of the many things I love

will come about,

in one day, or over a lifetime.

I can fight it,

hide from the reality

of my mortality,

yet like all things else

one day, in a single moment,

peacefully or not,

I will depart.

The gift of aging

is that the corner

I have always stood in

gets smaller,

a hard fact,

yet it causes me to wonder,

pray, contemplate,

what my life is for,

and to what am I moving towards.

Christ Jesus goes before me,

he endured much more than

I ever will,

Jesus embraced the Father’s will,

a hard proposition for me,

So Lord I pray

let me follow you

in joy, and sorrow,

in pleasure and pain,

never forgetting

that you have gone before me,

awaiting my return home.

So it is for all I believe-Br.MD
