Are We There Yet

Driving on our journey We grow excited as we get near To our final destination Where we'll all give a great cheer. 'Are we there yet?' is often said From the children sat behind, Eager for days of playfulness To rejuvenate body and mind. We pass signposts along the way Telling us we're almost there Where our family will be so happy, Contented, without a care. Finally, we arrive, tired, Yet glad we endured that long day, Pleased that we all observed Those signs along the way. There are more important "signs" We need to notice and perceive, "Signs" Jesus said we're sure to see As long as we would believe. Signs that the "end" is near Can be seen all over the Earth; Like pangs of a pregnant woman Leading up to an imminent birth. Global wars, pandemics and earthquakes Prove Jesus prophetic words true; God's kingdom, the one we pray for Will soon end these for me and you! All suffering will be removed; God will wipe all tears from our eyes; No one will ask, 'Are we there yet?' As the World will be a Paradise! (Luke 21:7,10,11,28)
