Looking In the Eyes Of Love

 

Back Home

 Back Home

This body is not me

it's just a tent to live in

on the earth.

I did not want to come here

but I was sent from heaven

By way of birth.

Do you not know

how hard it was

to leave that golden shore?

Where love is breathed

in the very air

and joy forevermore?

My spirit dwelled there

with the King

the maker of all things

Who taught the angels

how to fly

and all the birds to sing.

I didn't want

to come here

I begged to let me stay

But I was pushed 

out of the nest

in love, sent on my way.

For there's a job

that only I

can, for my Master, do

And there's a mighty calling, too

for you

and you, and you.

We can not ask

the potter why

He has made us thus

We are creations

of His design

and we must learn to trust.

And though we'll often

fail and fail

the training of this life

A crown will one day

be given us

for enduring all this strife.

And all the bad

will fall away

and all the good be measured

Each sacrifice

and obedience

each loss of things we treasured.

The souls of friends

we brought to Him

hard hearts pulled from the fire

The lost and lonely

little ones

rescued from worldly mire.

But none of that

will we think of 

when we hear Him bid us come

We'll only see

His shining face

as He welcomes us back home.

FALLING my birthday poem,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Dec 30th.

Falling

I fell in love the day I was born

Like Elvis said "one frosty morn"

A winter's day nigh the New Year

And cried to find myself dropped here

From clouds of Glory, to Earth I came

To earthly parents and earthly name

I came from Heaven to find a place

And all my memory of there, replaced

I grew to find myself misfit

And full of wisdom, woe and wit

Feeling never at home on this round rock

And searching ever, it never stopped

Falling in love in the abyss of a heart

Reading the end of the story before the story would start

Looking for answers in the eyes of a stranger

Trusting in fools and dealing with danger

Falling and falling and falling, I fell

Falling from Heaven and falling through Hell

Loving the unseen and hoping somehow

I've fallen forever and I'm still falling now.
