Five Minute Friday: MEND

 

I think this can't be mended 

however hard the angels try.

Is this what God intended?

Is this the way I'm going to die,

with searing pain through every night,

deep inside each tumour'd bone?

Is there nothing left to fight?

Must I feel bereft, alone?

But slow and gentle comes the answer,

that to die is truly gain,

and the Christ will be the answer

that will conquer fear and pain,

for He walks beside me, still,

unto my own Calvary hill.

Sylvia told Jesus not to forget the ice cream.

Five Minute Friday: SNOW

The Five Minute Friday prompt this week is SNOW.

As the snowplow operator sang, "There's no business like snow business..."

Ah, well.

The winter now at last has come

and so have come the snows.

Toes and fingers getting numb,

a red and runny nose.

Small dog seen just by his tail

leaving in a world of white 

a happy barking waggy trail

at the end of which you might 

just find him rolling on his back,

snow-angels on his mind.

He doesn't seem to mind the lack

of pants on his behind,

but happily goes with the flow

of the newly-fallen snow.

Sylvia doesn't do snow.
