the best things

The best things are not to be kept

They are a gift. But not to keep; to hold, to see, to experience for as long as they stay.

The best things are not to be grasped.

They are to be held gently.

And they should be allowed to fly away when their time comes.

We should not mourn their loss. They were never ours to lose.

We should keep only the memory of their visit, and be grateful those best things came to us for whatever time they stayed.

"Remember not the former things,     nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I am doing a new thing;     now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness     and rivers in the desert." --Isaiah 43:18-19 -------------------------

...think on that. 😉
