The Final Message

THE FINAL MESSAGE

The darkness should,
Allow the blind to see.
The deaf will hear and speak.
The earth will rise and be free
The strong will be weak
The hunger will ease
The wrong will stay wrong
It's one of the last words
Be ready to hear it.
A message not a song

If you are first,
You come out last.
If you are at the beginning,
I'll meet you at the end.

If you are ready to enter the gates,
On the last day of your life,
Leave your dishonesty, and hates
On the wicked side.
God will not allow that in his grace 

Make sure your love,
Stays in your hand.
For you are ready,
In your last stand.

This is kind of cool. LIke words of a prophet! Irma, I hope one day you can have another cat. I have two now, but they cannot hold a candle to my dear Callie, and I pray one day I can find another cat as dear as she was. So glad you enjoyed that story. I should see more of your poems.But I was spring cleaning all day and I need to get to bed soon. Thanks for all your sweet comments to me today. Luv, Andrea
