this being here

takes so much love 

to just be present and engaged 

through all of life’s deep mysteries

and the drama people display

 what does it take to participate 

in all of life’s strange games

and give it all our heart and soul 

in the dark and light that ever pull

we must have the strength to remember 

how this dharma is ever played 

and hold on to the power of spirit 

offered us in Gods name 

 your time here is covered

by a limited warranty

and all the insurance you invest in life 

if you read the fine print

is really just temporary 

but there’s a love 

that through time survives 

and Spirts help will get us by

so we turn inside and pray 

to be present and try to engage

in whatever it may take

to bring Christ’s light into our life 

and be thankful for guidance 

to see the blessings of this grace 

that gets us through each and every day
