These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Some Days Ahead

Some days ahead are still unknown.
Today is cold and bright.
Tomorrow won't be fully grown,
until God makes it right.

Some days ahead will warmer be,
but now it's frigid bold.
Some tasks around my yard I see,
but not while it's so cold.

Some days ahead retirement comes,
but what will life be then?
So much of life in lasting sums
is measured by what's been.

Some days ahead, Forevermore
will be as God doth choose.
For those redeemed the best's in store.
There's none of them He'll lose.

Some days ahead we'll see The Son,
Who shines in boldest Light.
The goodness of this lasting One
will banish all the night.
