Self Meditation
I had a little quiet time to myself.
I began thinking I need some help.
I am nearing the winter of my life.
I’ve seen the danger and the strife.
Life was always better in ‘the old days.’
It’s impossible to keep up with “the new ways.’
The important things now are family & friends.
I hope this list gets longer & never ends.
Everyone needs something to give their life meaning.
Be it religion, a job, a hobby , or just a feeling.
By feeling, I mean a strong desire to love others.
Not in a physical way. More like an agape mother.
Love thy neighbor as thy self type of love.
This desire must come from God above.
People need people. They need God too.
All are brothers and sisters under God’s rule.
I am but a sinner. I feel like chief of them all.
I don’t think I’m one to spread the beckoned call.
But, I can’t keep quiet about changes going on in me.
It’s a strange feeling to have but, it can set you free.
So, as I sit here , deep in meditation.
Some people may say I need some medication.
But, whatever the case may be.
There are changes going on in me.
I haven’t reached my final destination yet.
I have a long way to go. On this you can bet.
But, I prefer a more sure thing.
In the Bible, I can hear the truth ring.
It is calling me loud and clear.
So, I guess I will proceed without any fear.
