TIME  FOR  SORTING 

It takes time to sort out

who we are and what

we mean to each other -

husband and  wife, mom and dad

and kids and friends.

It takes time after one dies

to understand how much

we love and loved one another -

to really look at all those moments

and memories that were gifts that

we really didn’t notice at the time.

It takes time to grow a baby,

to live a life, to make a

marriage spring up in the field of

our life - along with so much more.

It takes time to pray - to sort out

our life -  to thank God for the

people who have been in our life.

It takes time to bury our dead

while the rest of the world

goes back to business and

we shed tears of sadness

and gladness and slowly

let our new world with and

without our loved one become our

new life. Thank God for children.
