The Tear Wiper

The Tear Wiper There was one, who called his friend a few days ago. He shared with him a dream he thought he should know. His friend gave attention as he, in a serious tone, began to say: It was cold and snowy in the East. It was windy and wet in the North. It was cloudy and stormy in the South. It was dry, sunny, and mild in the West. By next day, out West, ocean tides rose 20 feet high. Several states along the Mississippi were flooded up North. The Eastern Seaboard shivered in 15 feet of snow from Delaware to Maine; And, an unbelievable 7.8 earthquake shuddered the Deep South. All of these dramatic events happened on the very same day. By noon, the whole world was filled with sorrow and dismay. There was no forecast, and without watch or warning, the weather spoke. It was not an invading army nor a terrorist strike; but America did choke. It was an earth shattering day when everyone everywhere took note and awoke. Not a Hollywood movie, but it was clear to all; this was neither nightmare nor joke. It was noted that one family up North had taken shelter under a strong and tall oak. The children played as they sang, talked, and prayed; also in a book, they wrote. Then suddenly, they all stood together; and a scripture they did quote. “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, Neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” 03202007 cj Rev. 21:4 (Poetic fiction)PS
