It's Been Awhile

It's been a while since I put thought to print,
Squeezed by a schedule that won't relent,
Little time to sit and jot my reflections,
Pulled in so many different directions,
I pause slowing on this country mile,
Fully aware that it has been awhile,
It's time to slow down and ponder,
Eternal things located over yonder,
To leave the frantic rat race undone,
So that more like Christ I become,
To get more in touch with eternal,
Drawing nearer to Christ supernal,
Yes, it's been a long long while,
Since writing that makes me smile.
