Notes About The Poem

Jesus Christ Ascension

A Rainbow, A Promise, A Gift

A promise from God, his sign in the sky,
Never again will all unjust men die.
A rainbow appears as His sign to man,
Water will not cover all of the earth’s land.

He’ll not with water, wash all life from earth,
Because of our sins or our lack of worth.
He offers His gift of eternal life,
And gives us the strength to overcome strife.

He sent us His son, to die for all sin,
He gave up His life so man could win.
Then after three days, as scripture had said,
He came back to life; He rose from the dead.

After a time, he ascended in air,
He went ahead, our mansions to prepare.

Thanks for the comment, Unseeking Seeker. I'm 80 now, the end is much nearer. :-) It's fine with me, I'm ready when He is. Have a blissful weekend, my friend. Bill
