Poem
I’m no one, she thinks and smiles to herself – imagining when the world looks at her they see gray hair and wrinkles, sagging skin and dentures those little things that remember she has turned the corner on her fifties soon she’ll be in her sixties… dear heart, where has the time gone? it was only yesterday or a few years back, in the past her skin was firmer she didn’t wear dentures or glasses to see better she was graced with dark hair with highlights from the sun wore her pink bikini remember, she was so young oh, so young… where has the time gone? I’m no one special, she thinks to herself even the night can see beneath the shadows of my soul there lives a woman, beyond words, beyond hopes she saw the truth of her youth left on the side of a moment where dying remembers there are things that matter more than gray hair and glasses, dentures and flippant thoughts. There is the moment when I see Him His light, His grace, His love pouring out hope through my soul when the time comes when the dying is done will He lead me home? Oh, Jesus… hold onto my soul Jesus, never let me go I’m a believer and that is enough to remind me despite the darkness of death I will know a light that breathes praise… There is more than this world There is hope that opens the heart Opens the door… to everlasting peace, love that sings throughout eternity on the winds of His perfect will on the light that can surely fill on the joy that makes my soul still… in Him, I find myself the answer to this unending quest for a love that never ends a love that will surely prevent me from remembering my fears, the shadows of those long ago years, before I knew the love that comes to color the soul of those who know the One who brings life to those who know Him, the ONE who is alive throughout all time… His name is Jesus Christ and without Him, I’d never survive the darkness that so often decides I’m unworthy of this joy inside I’m not worth what He did on the cross but, I’m so thankful that all is not lost because He gave His life, despite the cost And He arose to assure hearts who believe that He has saved them from an eternity without His amazing love!
