Life is Short, but it’s the Longest Thing You’ll Ever Do

Life is short, but it’s the longest thing you’ll ever do

Alive in the struggle

Surviving the rubble

Arms wide open

Whole, yet broken

Life is short, every breath a gift

Breathe in, breathe out

Blessings all about

Joys unspeakable

Hidden shames redeemable

Life is short, every moment counts

The joys, the pains

The sunshine, the rains

Betrayal, forgiveness

Pleasures, repentance

Life is short, where did it go

Creaky joints, wrinkled skin

Thinning hair, double chin

Belt buckle expansion

Brain contraction

Life is short, making the most

Laughing, crying

Dancing, simplifying

Hope my message

Grace my lesson

Life is short, future uncertain

Our grandsons and daughters

Face rising waters

Lies, hate, violence, division

Our world needs a new, fresh vision

Life is short, sometimes much

Loved ones gone too soon

No one’s immune

We live, we die

We work, we try

Life is short, but it’s the longest thing you’ll ever do

Such brevity

Made for eternity

Embracing harmony

Serving tirelessly

Living fearlessly

Investing eternally

Loving urgently

Claim your identity

In the One who loves endlessly
