LIFE BUDGETTED

The intricacies of budgeting..
Those who have don't spend it..
Those who want it don't get it..
As i try balance cheese and chalk..

Lord, isn't this real life??

Why don't we know what to ask for!!
Why don't we know what to do with what we have..
Why waste a life chasing name and fame
That at best can be reached grabbed and stacked?

How kind of Him.. he doesn't give all that we ask for

How relevant the prayer..
Lord give me this day my daily bread..
so meaningful so beautiful..

As i look back at these 28 years of matrimonial bliss..
Of holding hands and walking the worlds weird ways..

Through thick and thin.. difficult days
Making us grow more fond of each other
Tough times sticking us closer together
Each one holding the other dearer

We built our life brick by brick,
Against odds seemingly insurmountable
in this life's perilous journey
Her perseverance and patience come forth in shine
i am awash in her love and care..
Free to be what i am, wild tethered yet free

Thanks dear friends, our ring fence
embracing us to keep perils away
in joys and sorrows to laugh and crywith us
sharing what we have in laughter loud
accepting us just for our hearts

These 28 years that seem just 28 days..
two beautiful girls and two lovely sons..
hugging us close and making me feel an emperor
My cup runneth over my lord,
Awake me not, my lord from this dream..
let me dream some more..

if indeed you need me to wake up
Let me wake up in your presence, in your hands
hold not my trespasses against me, the least against her
let me travel a bit more,
With her a bit more
let me dream a bit more
and savour this life's nectar bit more

Thank you Lord for this beautiful journey
Give me strength to forgive others as i wish others forgive me
Cleanse me that i am worthy
of the dreams i have lived all these years

To all my friends who have been part of my life all these years thank you for being there
we are grateful to each one of you for making our lives so beautiful
