Yesterday I was on the verge of sixteen
It was what I was driven for.
It seemed it was forever in coming
I was obsessed with being a movie star.
Yesterday I was on the verge of marriage.
Starting a family was my main desire.
Managing to graduate from High School first
Dreams and emotions had my being on fire.
Yesterday I was on the verge of Motherhood.
Feeling a life totally alive inside of me:
Holding a tiny human in my arms finally
Hoping a great mother I would be.
Yesterday I was on the verge of grandchildren.
My children were having children of their own.
It was amazing sharing in the time of their births
That I wasn’t realizing how the time had flown.
Yesterday I was on the verge of retirement.
The years have flown swiftly right past.
Things can change that cause more drama than ever
I was wondering what lot I was being cast.
Today I am on the verge of a liftime gone by.
Dreams and hopes haunt that are not fulfilled.
In all the times I have lived on the verge of
None of it has hit like today, being so real

About Ruby Harris
My name is Ruby Harris. I live near Birmingham, Alabama and I write spiritual lessons from Father God in poetry form. I have to live it to write it. I have been doing this since 1984. I am married and have 4 daughters and 6 grandchildren. Two twenty-one year old grandsons are in the Army together. I have one book published and it was delivered just before my husband had open heart surgery. I have given most of them to Doctors and Nurses and other patients that we come across in our “health adventures”. Two years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and God has healed me. A year ago He gave me a photo that is so life changing that you have to see it to believe it. Every poem I share I gets the same reaction. Did you write this just for me? It’s amazing from an amazing God.
