At last glance

Life can only be understood backwards;

 but it must be lived forward

Soren Kierkegaard

Over my shoulder, life keeps getting dimmer

As the days slip behind

Opportunities seem slimmer

Sun setting on the chances?

No!

No backward glances

Forge ahead! 

By your heart be led!

With the future case your lot

And then (of course) give it all you've got

and that's poetiquejustis

 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men
Colossians  3:23
