An Urgent Evaluation

These ties that bind time’s age to skin

Will break; its cage-bars melt within

Where Soul abides, when eventides

And morning skies will cease

Then feud with foe and feast with friend

With life’s final exhale will end

Ah, who can dare to face death’s lair

Without Salvation’s peace?

This born-of-woman, full-of-care

This need and greed anointed stair

Lest we forget leads to the Yet

That no one can refuse

When all we have will disappear

Save the Account of Days Spent Here

Then why not live to give-give-give

For what have we to lose?

When we no longer bow the head

To thank the Lord for daily bread

When hope and trust and dust-to-dust

Must’s destiny unveils

Then, as these earth-ties deliquesce

Into Forever’s endlessness

Pray we don’t wait to call too late

On love that never fails

Do you ever stop to wonder how it will be

When face to face, we shall see?!!

 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror;
then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully,
 even as I am fully known.

1 Cor.13:12
