Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Robert Frost
Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains-
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip-
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord watches over you-
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all harm-
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
Some days I miss my sister so much. I want to ring her up and tell her about my day or vent about my family or just say you were right or remember when...?
I cannot believe its been two months since she breathed her last. I can only cling to the hope of seeing her again but it doesn't help those who are left behind but least I can reassure myself that she is not in pain, she is not hurt, she cannot be harmed by sun or life anymore.
