Restoration
Walls built on walls,
Temple over temple,
Cities built to last,
Read about their past.
Crumbling stones
Mingled with the ashes
Tell their story . . .
Civilization ended.
. . . Now . . .
A sign on a cathedral,
“YOUR DONATIONS ARE NEEDED
FOR THE RESTORATION
OF THIS TEMPLE.”
Plans built on plans,
Life built for success,
Achievement after achievement;
Shattered dreams
Mingled with despair;
Lost on that journey,
See the fallen star;
Future suspended.
. . . Now . . .
A sign on my heart, for God,
“YOUR PRESENCE IS NEEDED
FOR THE RESTORATION
OF MY SOUL.”
