Higher Goals

Forevermore
February 28, 2023 To things of earth I loosely hold,Try not to keep too firm my grip.I realize as I grow old,I’ll check no bags my final trip. There’s nothing here I’ll need to pack.My journey to forevermore,That one-way trip, … Continue reading

February 19, 2023 I don’t cause the sun to come up every morn.I don’t make the clouds and the rain in the sky.I don’t cause a kernel to sprout, produce corn.What gives me the right to demand to know why? … Continue reading
