The moving finger writes and having writ
Moves on, nor all your piety or wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line
Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.
Omar

Words from my youth. Read the Rubiyat when in college. Amazingly some words stuck..including the above. As the years roll by quickly these words seem not only to ring true, but with greater volume and clarity. The days pass swiftly, and as a friend said this morning, "Some day you will know all the benefits of age." So it is. Ah well, it is good to walk and breathe and watch the sunset. It is good to sing hymns and stand close to loved ones. Watched a young grandson play football the other day.. yes, just touch football.. and rejoiced in the years and all they bring. Hope that lasts for many years before the journey home. Blessings on your day. Bill
