God's incredible Son Light
must be
like so very loving
more so loving than any other
light or love
that the human heart
could even hope to imagine
so see the coming of death
itself
as not a fearful void of
the unknown
but a truly trusting final step
into the open arms of God
through a most beloved tender
doorway
leading one's purest essence
into the magnificent kingdom of
all kingdoms
where love itself beyond compare
resides
ever lasting is such spirited root
in all of mankind
never dying
always there
eventually
though unbeknownst to most
we are the ones who take each other
there
our actions and our deeds
are our guilded wings
flight
either which way
is imminent
so never ever fear
for we are never alone
its our love that lifts us up
and faith
love's right hand
gives us license to look upon
God
just as he looks upon us
he chooses to do so
through the innocent trusting eyes
of pets and young children
for they are but that
treasured gifts clearly displaying
his purest unconditional love
reassuring us that we are indeed
dear, dear belongings of his
that he longs to have back
never question that
for it is promised by the voice of God
and his son
our eldest brother
Jesus Christ is all the proof we need.......
