Every day is set apartFrom other days
A jewel some remembering heart
May always keep.
Bargained for with care and bought
With reckoning
Borrowed out of time or caught
Upon the wing.
Battled for and dearly won
Given or lent
Freely lived from sun to sun
Freely spent.
Every day is for some heart
A day of days
A jewel life has set apart
To shine always.
Thank God we have NOW--grin!
ReplyDeleteMargie, your words simplify life so well.
Every day IS a jewel for some, if we but look for the true sparkle, the essence. And this day, as my yesterday, will shine always!
Thank you SO much, Margie.
PEACE!

Hello Gloria
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for you in the loss of your childhood friend.
It's very sad that she is gone ... gone much too soon!
I know how hard it is to lose a good friend as I lost a very dear friend a few years ago.
I hope the memory of your friend will always be a blessing.
Take care, Gloria
