My Anthem

It's 10.46, a special time when I sighted this ***poem

somewhere writ on the shore at Redhead beach
as Time stood still
but the river did not run dry

Cos we have running waters of friendship
that flow on, roll on

till the end of time

Before that
souls destined to will meet

those souls not destined to meet
will then have to settle for second best

reading the lines
writ on the shore

at Redhead beach...

hoping, praying and wishing
destiny's child can round the bend

hopefull the Other to meet

**************************

Once upon a time
down at redhead beach...
was writ:

***~ The Psalm of Life ~

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,Life is but an empty dream!For the soul is dead that slumbers,And things are not what they seem..Life is real! Life is earnest!And the grave is not its goal;Dust thou art, to dust returnest,Was not spoken of the soul..Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,Is our destined end or way;But to act, that each tomorrowFind us farther than today..Art is long, and Time is fleeting,And our hearts, though stout and brave,Still, like muffled drums, are beatingFuneral marches to the grave..In the world's broad field of battle,In the bivouac of Life,Be not dumb, driven cattle!Be a hero in the strife!. Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!Let the dead Past bury its dead!Act,~act in the living Present!Heart within, and God o'erhead!.Lives of great men all remind usWe can make our lives sublime,And, departing, leave behind usFootprints on the sands of time;.Footprints, that perhaps another,Sailing o'er life's solemn main,A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,Seeing, shall take heart again..Let us, then, be up and doing,With a heart for any fate;Still achieving, still pursuing,Learn to labor and to wait.
