live
in the moment
walk
slowly enough to see beauty
listen
closely enough to hear whispers
cherish
today
play with toys
feel the softness of fur
play catch with stuffed monkeys
inspect insects
point out flags
chase butterflies
gaze at swimming pools
jump from stepping stone to stepping stone
walk through jungles with arms held high
blow bubbles
give and receive hugs
tell someone you love them
inspect each plant with awe
play in the sunshine
dance in the wind
sing Jesus Loves Me
this is living
this is life
life is short
life is precious
tomorrow is not
guaranteed
so worship with abandon
love with no limit
forgive so your own heart can be free
live thanksgiving
count gifts
tell someone you really, really love them
take not one moment for granted
race not through the day
hold anger no longer
live in the love light of the One
who loved you and me first
assume not that those around you
know Him and His love
look to the cross
remember the price He paid
so we could live life
dancing
even when the heart
is hurting
is missing
a dad
a grandpa
a great grandpa
a husband of 62 years
I miss you so much, Dad
yet would never wish you back
into the wheelchair now empty
you are free
to sing
to dance
to worship
with Jesus
for all eternity
