Perhaps these are the end times: br The end of a child's life br The end of a marriage br The end of a parent's life br The end of a business br The end of a beloved pet or horse or other br The end of an age of national influence br The end of life br But unless we trip the nuclear trip wire br Our days will continue br Holland McSwain taught me this great truth br Sandy Nieman ratified it with her wisdom br The end of a capsule is only br The end of a capsule in which we have traveled br In which we have been shielded or not shielded from the elements br This does not make it sacred br This does not make it holy br This does not make it the End Times.
