Covenant Seeker

You promised me a hundredfold and more for them The reward so oft is less than all my love for them Except the little extra you threw in ... it's heaven then I did not volunteer to leave, but over and over Alone, stripped of the affections where I care, it's all I grieve. Perhaps you are training me for the big reward. I surrender what I cannot keep to reap what I Should not seek here ... and that too illusive and in vain. So now there better be a heaven, I am being obedient to pain. Death is such a scoundrel though. It has ravaged me most Muddy feet in my house, dirty fingers on my treasures Love diminishes me like a candle, death thaws me like ice.
