The last day of July is like
So many other days this year
Gray and overcast, but we
Can see the horizon which
Is a deeper gray. Still it is a
Gift which cannot be overlooked
We have it very good, compared
With the rest of the world
We can pray and act, but must
Bow to the will of the Master
He has a purpose for everything
One cries for the persecuted
And wonders why this has to be
The world is full of riches and
Blessings and unfortunately
Dictators who seek total control
How can this be to their advantage
I wonder if they give thought to
The fact that they are dust and
Into dust they will return. I will
Not cast stones upon them because
I, too, am a sinner, and I ask for
Forgiveness. Flowers are in bloom,
There is a slight breeze and birds are
Singing. Nature is at peace today
And I wish to be there too.
