GOD IS STILL WORKING ON ME

Some of you know, 2008 was a rough year. I suffered a lot of loss.

January rolled past in a blur and I was thinking how fast time flies and remembering...

But, this is 2009, and a new year. Plus, February is a month to celebrate love! And, by writing poetry, we share our love and, sometimes, a bit of our lives.

I thought I'd share a poem I wrote, and read, at my brother's funeral. This was for Jeff.

GOD IS STILL WORKING ON ME
by: Kim Kasch

So many questions left in my head
So many words remain unsaid
So much in life I'd hoped to be
So much on Earth I'd planned to see

But don’t worry,
God is still working on me.

Beyond this Earth – in time and space
waits a calm realm – a peaceful place,
where souls live on - in warmth and light
here, life continues to burn bright.

It’s here, you see,
God is still working on me.

Life burns fast as a candle’s flame,
when it goes out – no one’s to blame
bodies fail but souls do not die –
love will live on – and so do I.

So don’t worry
God is still working on me.

I was so tired – I closed my eyes
Then God whispered, “No one really dies.”
As he guided me through Heaven’s Gate,
He explained, “There’s more – just wait . . .”

It’s here, you see,
God is still working on me.
