When Inspiration Hits M.E.

Last week I was inspired to create an AVP for my friend, Vangie. (She’s here on a three-week vacation from the US with her husband and three kids. Their going back to Chicago tomorrow.) The first time she left (January or February last year) I used PowerPoint to make an AVP for her. This time I decided to try my hand at Adobe Flash although I don’t know how to use and although that was the very first time I did. I was able to lay the pictures and the music down. I just still don’t how to create a smoother transition between photos. I was thinking what text to put at the end of the AVP when I suddenly felt inspired to write a yet untitiled poem. I’m posting it below. I’m just excited to share it ’cause not only am I a non-writer, I’m also a non-poet. Let me know what you think:

Alas, time flies
and part again we must
But time is short
and distance hinders not
For friendships true
wax strong and wait
Keep each other close
in God’s bosom through prayers
And as we wait
til time gives chance again
of each other’s joys to partake
Let us work and live
and love and give
and keep on growing
in God’s grace
Where’er our calling takes us,
where’er He may lead,
faith in God and in each other
will keep our souls ablaze
til on His appointed time,
each other we may face.
