Melvina Germain - (180) Pondering

Bad news came my way once again today.
A young friend of Mom’s passed away.
It’s something we come to expect now the
years are flying by, old age is upon us.
Sadness still reigns in our hearts, saying
good-by when our dear friends depart.

Tonight was an evening to treasure,
Singing my heart out is always a pleasure.
Gospel music, divine way to praise the Lord,
sisters and brothers, coming on board.

Tomorrow morning, Sa-tur-day,
My favourite time to play.
Writing poems, songs, little Haiku’s
awaiting your usual reviews.

Tomorrow night is Gospel night.
Now we see if we get it right.
We’ve practiced over and over again.
Love to see you there my good friends.

I sit pondering, in my euphoric state.
Gazing yonder, shadows of heavens gate.
Picturesque images grace my mind,
Embraced by the space of time.
