Two Hundred Thousand (A Slightly Older Poem I Wrote)

Two hundred thousand,

miles of life and living,

roads of twenty-four travelled,

one might call these days,

I call them reminders,

God's faithfulness on display.

Here on the intersections where I reflect,

replay memories of all kinds,

I am grateful for two hundred thousand "miles",

or forty something years,

where I'm still travelling life's "roads",

no matter whether good of bad.

Maybe I Can....

            Maybe I can write something, here in the middle. In the middle of a chaotic work day. In the middle of hardship and pressure under the load of a workday.
