Seven Pillars of Wisdom rock formation in Wadi Rum, Jordan (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Eternity measured in men.

I slept and I dreamt of a youth who now can.

You cause me to dance, and I’m an old man.

Aerobic limbs mount my limbs, I am not lame!

I spin like a child, with uncanny aim.

The Bauble is cast and I catch it with ease.

With laughter, by Your grace, I dance to please.

Explosive, unexpected I’m bathed in Your blessing.

And they watch in amazement as Your touch sends me reeling.

I leap at the wall and bounce away cloudless.

My hands are my feet, ability boundless.

My body, a spring bouncing high in the air.

And gravity denied, bruise’s rightful heir.

Wisdom is given and received with great joy.

And I turn, spin, and toss, What a happy little boy.

All this because of You.

To God, give His due!
