The dreams we hold and the plans we make. Each day we go, move, choose and do. Then without notice or warning, death comes calling. It is near, it is certain and it is relentless. We see it on the news, we experience it in our circle of family and friendships, and yet, the uncertainty still seems far off. But for those who believe, it is not the end. There is a promised new life for the child of God and far greater than our dreams, plans and retirement. This world is temporary but a personal and committed relationship with the Savior is eternal and secure.

(Just watched a news report about someone who recently retired and had so many plans for their future, and now this person is in hospice. Wrote the above prose poem).
