For Those Whose Time Has Come

The sureness of the nearing twilight marks the length of coming days for some. It’s the sureness of a future bright in the lives of those whose time has come. They walk in strong, faithful company with their companions of the true Light. Throughout their days, they've walked with many who have purposed in Him to do right. Aspirations of a life fulfilled are fleeting dreams lost at best for some. They never turn aside to get still and here the One, who to them says, “Come”. But to those who find their rest in Him, those who have journeyed THE WAY for years, They’ve walked their call till they enter in To that place where there are no more tears.

In his living will, my father said he had no fear of death because he felt he would be walking into God's eternal light. Your poem brought back the memory of hearing that will read aloud before we turned off the respirator. Thank you for sharing this. Knowing a loved one is not dying in fear brings peace to those he/she leaves behind. Beautifully written -- straight from your poetic soul. Love, Carolyn
