A poem in our local World news written by Mary Culberson
Please don't call me now Lord
While south winds whisper spring
Let me wait a wee bit longer
For the songs the robins sing.
Please don't call me now Lord
While butterflies still flit
Across the summer meadows
I'd like to wait a bit.
Please don't call me now Lord
The maples are aglow
Please, patience til the north wind comes
Then I will meekly go.
Please don't call me now Lord
While snowflakes gently fall
How can I leave such loveliness
Must I go at all?
I know that eyes have never seen
And ears have never heard
The glory and the beauty
Of thy eternal word.
I always want to be with you
I'm sure you understand
But earth for me is heavenly
It was fashioned by your hand
Isn't this the way it is for us? Thought it was worth others seeing.

I think you are right, most of us do feel this way, there is a sadness that envelopes me entirely when I think of not being here for another season. I live in such a beautiful place with so much lovely scenery, and lots of wildlife, to think the next season would not be seen from my eyes ever again, fills me with a great sadness and tears fill my eyes. None of us know when the day will come that we have to really say goodbye, for good this time. I just hope and pray I am not aware of it happening. I think it is very scary.

It sure is Sandy, just recently I have been thinking, will I ever see the ones who went before me again or the ones I leave behind? I do not like the idea of going if I can't be with family and friends. I have decided too, please Lord don't call me now, let me enjoy the ones left as long as you can.

Mitzi, thanks for sharing that poem, the writer could be one of us, or someone in a similar situation. I so want to see my grandson grow, I want to take him to Disneyworld and I want to see all my kids get married.
Whatever God has in store for us I hope he let's us enjoy all we can and don't tell us he's coming.
Enjoy this holiday weekend everyone!

We who love life, even this life with all its challenges, want to live this life as long as we can. So yes, I feel this way, too. And I keep repeating to the Lord my list of all I yet want to do. I love the people I know and I already know I have more love to give those I haven't even met yet. And I love Him while I am here and, yes, I don't feel like I have to go elsewhere to do that. Thanks for the poem. Love, Diana

Mawoni, you are most welcome, it just kind of tells it like it is for a lot of us. We know what the earth is like and we have all of our family and friends, I don't like change, I am an old fuddy duddy so think I will just opt to stay here with my family. They say you can't take it with you so I don't think I will go. lol Have to have some humor too. Enjoy your holiday. mitzi
