pondering faith along I 70

somewhere along 

the journey

we begin to realize

the truth we've believed

but never really known

"life on earth

is but a vapor"

indeed

sadness indwells 

the quickening

but while days

blur into decades

something called hope

rises from the earth

like trees from prairie grass

we hear it in the carefree laughter of children

we see it

in the forgiving eyes of the old

astonishingly

it is our daily privilege

to take hold of it

or let it

go

"Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
