"THE LOVE"

It is but a memory,

Of a life so rich and full
I could not begin to compare
For I am empty of such richness ~

For I met and knew you
A light in a dark world
Hope was held out to me
I was raised above the waters ~

Oh how I did not know
The gift of time was such
To never see or live again
Rather to stand down ~

I remember with heavy heart
My failure to comprehend
What you were trying to tell me
In a fragile state of mind ~

As I review the decades
That passed by swiftly
I hold onto tightly
The Love I learned from you.

PREMONITION

 

If I knew

I were to die

What would I first do?

Would cry out

To the Lord

Praise the one who is true -

Would thank Him

For the life I've lived

And all the pain and sorrow

And thank Him

For the full days set

With promise of tomorrow -

Now to realize

I must draw close

For life is cut short,

None the less

Him I'll bless

Before I enter His Court -

And when the Day

Is far gone

And truly spent

I'll cover all of

My short comings

Of days I was lent -

From my knees

I shall arise

With a heart of love

For I made peace

With my King

Who I will join above.

~ Hebrews 10:22
