Living by spirit of love everlasting, I am
Daily renewed by the action of prayer
The world becomes Tutor, it's wonders unfold
Enhancing delight in my heart at what's there.
In nature, magnificence, awsomely shown
As day becomes dusk, with all in between,
It is breathlessly ageless, and always bestows
To the speechless onlooker every last scene.
Showing God in it's pattern of dynamic
Power, from sunset to bird, from fish to flower,
All throbbing with love and life, to which I too
Have continual access, hour by glorious hour.
Agelessness comes when the heart understands
The meaning of moments, the power of Now.
The way into the realm of Forever is there,
And anyone being aware is endowed
With beautiful feelings of bliss, which though
Fleeting, leave echoes of happiness, feeding
The soul - - contentment, despite trials in life
Defies aging years, and fulfills human needs
Of reassured love, the ageless heart grows
As it constantly knows the reason for being
Is found in a heart willing to serve with whatever
Small talent is given at birth, speedy at seeing
The needs of another and trying to meet them
With compassionate love and nurturing care
Can only bring happiness resultant from giving.
If we want to be ageless the recipe's there.
