Of Common and Sacred Sureness

Update: When I wrote today's poem I didn't dream that this would mark the day of

No matter how we get there,
we sacredly and surely all will!








(and so nice to have helping hands along the way!)



One thing we have in common
No matter who we are
A sure and sacred summons
Will fling a Door ajar
That leads into a portal
Where Time will cease to be
From mortal to immortal
For all eternity

Farewell to all comparing
Where we dwell side by side
The tent of our bearing
The means of our ride
However high or lowly
Of sky and land and sea
All are bound for the holy
Gate of eternity

Ferrari, Lamborghini,
Bike, airplane, mule and cart
The wheels to infinity
Is not the crucial part
The mode of transportation
In death, disintegrates
When the God of salvation
Parts eternity’s gates

This world’s clutter and clatter
Is the fleeting façade
Of a most sacred matter
‘Prepare to meet Thy God’
For He alone is waiting
Where time no more will be
No more doubt or debating
For all eternity

…where what we have in common
Is Time’s sure curtain- close
Who next will hear death’s summons
Only life’s Giver knows
As Last Breath dooms or frees us 
Pray, which one will it be
Either Satan or Jesus
For all eternity

Mark 16:16
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, 
but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Revelation 14:7
And he said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give Him glory,
 because the hour of His judgment has come.
 Worship the One who made the heavens and the earth 
and the sea and the springs of waters."

Revelation 15:4
Who will not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? 
For You alone are holy. 
All nations will come and worship before You, 
for Your righteous acts have been revealed."

Heb.2:1-4
Therefore we must give [a]the more earnest heed
 to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
 2For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, 
and every transgression and disobedience received a just [b]reward, 
3how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, 
which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, 
and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,
 4God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders,
 with various miracles, and gifts[c] of the Holy Spirit, 
according to His own will?
