Sara Kendrick Poet Kyrielle

Hope of Life Eternal

.
The doctor's words were very clear
Life here is short and death is near
The diagnosis was but one hurdle
    To the hope of life eternal

Shock, dismay, captivate and imprison
Then hope comes in a Savior that's risen
A heart made not of flesh will live vernally
    To the hope of life eternal  

Hope of glory strengthens one's deepest soul
Far away in a glorious land never grow old
Arrhythmia scares but faith takes hold and circles
    To the hope of life eternal

Each day helplessness reachest out to claim
Then upon God's word feast and fears tame
Thoughts race to life here is just a rehearsal
    To the hope of life eternal
