In her youth, her beauty unmatched
Graced many movies and TV shows
Gradually her beauty began to dim
A beauty I thought would last forever
Even if she lived to be a hundred
Alas I guess as is to be expected
In her so called golden years
Her beauty has lost all its glory
And it is irretrievably gone forever
My heart weeps a thousand tears

Bob Boyd

Ancient religions prominent in the past, diminished.
Time has nearly erased them all into oblivion.
Attempting to revive them, some are believing
In these once prominent religions again, practicing
Their rituals and in retelling their ancient stories.
Christianity’s influence is diminishing in Europe
And in America too, consider the war on Christmas.
Will Christianity be nearly erased into oblivion too?

She was driving
He was sleeping
Cities, towns
Mountains, meadows
Fields, farms
Streamed by
He opened his eyes
Saw God and knew
A semi had plowed
Into them and instantly
They were dead and
Had arrived at a
Better place than
Their earthbound
Idaho Destination
Angels sang and
They were in heaven

Bob Boyd
