Face To Face

Birth, youth, adult, we find our place on earth.

The spirit way deep inside man
seeks out hope's perfect plan. 
Pray for God's breath
ere death
bars choice.
Mind God's still voice
of both justice and grace
before you meet Him face to face.

Earth’s journey done, goodbye to mortal berth.

I'll SM you the specs.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 8/21/2018 9:02:00 AM Succinct. I like succinct. Congratulations on your win :) xomo! Login to Reply Reason A. Poteet Date: 8/21/2018 11:03:00 AM Thanks, Maureen, like your comment.

Gregory Richard Barden Date: 8/21/2018 3:34:00 AM This is just wonderful, Reason, and while it is much shorter than most of the other entries, it is no less impactful and substantive ... it is articulate and witty, succinct and powerful, heartfelt and edgy, and woven into a shape that tells a story of its own. I am shocked this doesn't have more comments, (perhaps more now, I hope), because it is superb poetry, and deserves more recognition. Congratulations on your THIRD PLACE in the 'My Muse, Mortal' Poetry Contest - blessings, friend! :-) <3 Login to Reply Reason A.

Poteet Date: 8/21/2018 11:10:00 AM Thanks, Caren, it helps picture my point of not waiting too long before making a commitment to Christ. Time is running out?? Appreciate your time and energy.
