Tombstones

Saying unto them, "No greater love hath a man Than he lay down his life, for his friends...." Well, I have tried to lay down my life over time Beyound any desires of recognition and or fame!? If only but for a moment betwixt this existence; days Which so very quickly fade away within this place.... Hopes that I may become but a vessel to perhaps Save even one Souls precious light As I gaze deeply upon these Sonadora's?! Amid amazement and astonishment sometimes But I do understand and I do believe the fulfilling Of their desires and of their needs; belief.... Innocently, such heart felt dreams which in turn Causes me to love them even more; oh this paradox That I seem to find myself within; for to embrace them Is all that I long to do but I cannot often find These different temporal views.... My eyes cast into the forevers gates and beyound A slave unto eternity's realities it seems; chained amid The Holy Spirit, immersed inside of me ~ This will of my Lord and Savior, "Jesus Christ!" He whom delivered my own Soul, from such bondage Of sin and darkness' encumbering eyes.... Oh that I could please all that I could be all!? But no time shall build my house upon a rock The foundation of truth and promises I do grasp Tightly that no storms may ever arise again To find my Soul crashing unto the ground this mound In distant and lost ruins that may have one day been So now within this anguish of flesh and blood Let my heart set aside these wayward dreams If only but even one Spirit they can be saved.... Within this potters field; shall I adorn this tombstone?! Before the world and all of 'their' eyes to behold That I may stand upon the throne of, "God" Someday aside love's precious babies and the saints Angels smiling as they joyfully weep "Well done My child ~ Welcome home...." For now I lay me down to sleep, that Heaven may hold my Soul to keep ~ _________________________________________________________________ .......Tombstones ......
