what meaningful words you write in your poems. You have a way of writing poems that seem to convey the words so clearly.

Hopefully the ticks and the tocks of my clock will see God's love every minute of each day.

'purveyors of His grace'...I love that line in your notes. Beautiful poem Mr. Roy. Time is unlimited, but in our human form, so very limited, urging us to use it wisely. Lovely, blessings...

Beautiful writing, my friend :)
I love this one. The artwork is very lovely as well.
I think this one is another favorite of mine. You have a special gift and I believe God does speak through you as you create each word. They have inspired me for as long as I've known you here.

Thanks for giving me the inspiration in your lovely posts.
Always your fan,
Shana :)

You are still there, my Friend!... Those words of wisdom
whether they were GOD sent, or just your own (I figure it's a little of both),
My compliments to your VERY true statement!
Keep them coming, my Friend!!

Excellent modified Ottava rima, Roy. I was not familiar with this form. The presentation is awesome. Time doesn't stop for anybody and as we grow older it goes by faster and faster. Well done!

This is just magnificent and timely. (I just had to say that.) One of my favorites in a sea of favorites.

Eternity's written on the souls of men.... I find in Christ I look forward to my blessed hope and eternal home.

Sending you my best today as always,
Sal XOs...

Your words are hauntingly beautiful, Roy.
I especially appreciate your final two lines...
Time passes far too quickly for me at this stage in my life, yet what I choose to do with that time is of great import. I just hope I do not waste the time I have left...

Thank you for sharing!

Loved your poem and your deep spiritual reflection about time and its passage. I really loved the last four lines - which reminds me of that Ecclesiastes passage and then moves on to the Corinthians where the Spirit writes on our hearts - the letter of the Lord to others. Beautifully done, Roy!
