WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: TWO SUBJECTS; Life and Time
A-Z ARCHIVE: N! CHALLENGE; Name
There’s a Name
above all names
I am clinging to
Unto earth came
to die in shame
all for me and you
My current life
heaped with strife
and the mounting stress
Won’t take me down
when He’s around
my each day to bless
That I not fall
His Name I call
to always sustain me
For I do know
trapped in the flow
by my side He’ll be!

You Chose To Fade
*image source: Superbwallpapers.com
From dandelion wishes
to the Italian dishes
all with love you made
From this mortal life
fraught with joy and strife
this morning you chose to fade
With the angels to stand
and holding Eston’s hand
you’ve entered into God’s glory
You will be dearly missed
by the lives you have kissed
with the end of your earthly story!
In memory of my dear Aunt Marge who passed away early this morning,
with all my love!
