These Are My JOTtings...

Media Challenge: "It's My Life!"

Many years behind me now!
I need none to stop and bow!
Something new, but forward...How?
God-made,...It's my life!

Challenges ahead, it's plain!
More to do, that's right as rain!
Spirit's ready, start the brain!
God-made,...It's my life!

Make some music! Make some noise!
Violin and voice employs!
Dance around with girls and boys!
God-made,...It's my life!

Rocking chairs weren't made for me!
From them I'll now quickly flee!
Greater mountains I still see!
God-made,...It's my life!

There's a novel yet to write,
Filled with action, full of bite!
"Do or not! There is no might!"
Yoda, It's my life!

"Let me finish well!" I cry
'Fore I live the By and By,
Days of work I must apply!
God-made,...It's my life!

When I stand before His Throne,
Words of Truth He will intone,
"Stand up, Friend! You're no more prone!
You're Here because My Life!"
