Light of Eternity

 Gorgeous break of day...

May we proceed in the Light of eternity!

John 12:46
I am come a light into the world, 

that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

As we navigate nuances of what has never been

As we exchange what we bear witness to, for the Unseen

As we begin another day on life’s highway, pray we

Proceed with conscience keen in the light of eternity

As we face what is waiting let the grace of God instill

More than futile debating, but dependence on His will

The taper of today is like a candle on the sea

A sallow halo hinged to the light of eternity

As we draw closer to the shore where only souls dismount

And we approach the solemn bar where we will give account

Help us, oh God to trek this sod with awed solemnity

Until hope’s flame is snuffed by the Light of eternity
