Today, I am just jazzed.
I buried my dad yesterday. And the preparation since I last shared has been along the lines of honouring him. It was mostly trial and error yet a very interesting journey. I am truly grateful to the suggestions and prayers from friends which I considered as marching orders.
Today, I am just jazzed.
Yesterday, a door opened just as an old one closed. In burying him, I said goodbye to a past I have made very significant. In taking my son to the funeral I said hello to a future for and with my son.
Yaani, today, I am just jazzed
Because I feel like I was at a bash rather than a funeral. But more than that, it was an answered prayer. After Sunday’s lecture I asked, in prayer, for God to show me in my reality or at my level how exactly He loves me and believes in me. Yesterday he did just that.
And, today, I am just jazzed
My Side of the Street 
He did not die
You did not loose
Gone one may be
Opportunities here stood
So grand, I would bet to see
“He” has granted to you
All branded at no cost
you’ve won not lost
True!
@Flashback…..
There stands in your place
Small hearted yet in innocence
With hope “eyes on pap”
A friend & son for a dad
@Present now…….
A chance to rebuild
For generations un-cracked
Granted it is
Chances!
Jazzed you may feel
Embrace it with glee
‘He’ has given you to “be”
For a reason and all seasons
For a lifetime indeed
Stand firm, there is a feasting
That one one can’t miss
Wow!
