This post is part of the October 2018 Edition of 31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes. I hope you”ll join me in seeing where each prompt takes us.
 P.S. Just so you know, I’m finding it difficult to stick to five minutes (**) and it may take me longer than the 31 days to finish all the prompts. Not easy for this rule follower!

A Whole New Me

“So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord – who is the Spirit – makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NLT) / Pixabay

A glance in the mirror
And what do I see?
Not who I pictured
But a whole new me!

When did those wrinkles
Appear on my face?
My girlish figure?
Gone, without a trace. Continue reading →

The Passing of Time

Time moves very slowly
     as we anxiously wait;
Whether it’s news from the doctor
     or a baby that’s late.

Minute by minute
     the hands seem to stall,
when we listen for footsteps
   or wish they would call.

Days linger so long
     watching snow fall in the spring.
We yearn for warm sunshine
     flowers, leaves, birds that sing.

Time drifts along languidly,
     it sets its own pace.
We often wish it away
     till in the mirror we see 
            our face.
