The Sands of Time

The sands of time

Weigh heavy on my soul

In that hourglass

Seem like seven fold

I’ve many years now

Some say still young

I still see many years

Till I go home.

I have the love of a woman

Who cares for me

Her eyes dance

Her smile so bright.

Her love I feel, so sweet

Being around her

Is such a treat.

Keeping the sands of time

In retreat.

About JimR, Chaplain

I'm a 74-year-old guy, in October 2024, who worked in Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune for 28 years and now retired as of 31 Dec 16. I've worked in medical records, the Health Benefits Department, Billing, and the IT department and retired as the Personnel Security Manager for the hospital. I'm a musician and Corvette enthusiast. Yes, I have had two. I traded my second Corvette for a Harley Davidson Fat Boy in mid-summer 2019. Then in 2024, I traded to an HD FreeWheeler FLRT. I've already ridden the new one a thousand miles in 6 weeks. I'm also searching for a fresh new outlook on life with new spiritual insight among other things. I was ordained a minister in 20190202. I've become certified with the American Chaplaincy Association through Aidan University in June '21. I've found that with the unconditional love of my companion, Libby Rowe life is complete through God. She's a beautiful, vibrant, giving woman who gives her all in everything she puts her mind to do. She and I married on 24 July 2015. She was ordained in February 2022. She has a blog too called Under a Carolina Moon. Give it a visit.

    “Keeping the sands of time in retreat.”–I especially like that. And the picture goes well with the poem.
