Life's Undertakings
Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)
Life has been an undertaking,
One that is truly mine,
Given unto me as a gift,
Blessed I have been in time,
Time is of the essence,
So I have been told,
It matter's not to me,
That I am growing old,
My body, and mind has changed,
As it is suppose to,
Strengthening me ever after,
My gift in life is you,
Traveling through this life,
Mysteries came my way,
Opening my eye's and heart,
On such a lovely day,
I have always searched for truth,
The goal's I have dreamed of,
When you came into my life,
You gifted me with your love,
Life has been an undertaking,
And time has been of the essence,
Searching I am for truth,
As I send to you this kiss.
