The Afternoon Bells

Saturday afternoon at 5:30,

The bells begin to ring.

They lift my heart with joy.

Calling to the people,

To join in harmony,

To praise the lord.

Colors of Life

Red is the color of love,

The ultimate color of life.

Blue is the color of the sky,

The gateway to heaven and earth.

Green is the color of nature,

The sign of blooming life.

Yellow is the color of the sun,

The main source of light.

All the colors together create a rainbow,

God’s promise that there will never be prominent darkness.

Good In The Bad

 

Life is about the road,

rather than the end.

Your memories never grow old,

especially ones made with a friend.

 

You may have had people to pass away,

but they’re never gone for good.

Now you have a new family,

and you all live in the same neighborhood.

 

Each person must grasp the necessity of their death,

but you also must remember you’re still not gone.

As time goes by you may feel old and grey,

but you still have many friends to lean on.

 

Although the road may almost be over,

you learn to enjoy the time you’ve had.

You stop caring about the time that’s gone,

and begin to focus on finding the good even in the bad.
