Eleventh Hour

It seems so late,

on your answer we wait.

 Time is just an illusion,

we search for our conclusion.

 As hours turn to ashes,

in love, we see the flashes.

 The final hour is here,

fortold by the seer.

 In that hour we live,

the eleventh hour to give.

 Only heirs know that hour,

for in him we have power.

 In victory we proclaim,

the glory of his name.

An appropriate title for a poem filled with faith. The last two lines sum it up beautifully.

Such a timely poem as Easter approaches, John. Reminds me of Christ's "Eleventh Hour" and the victory we celebrate in the resurrection. Well done! Happy Easter to you, Carolyn
