World Wide Tour
Zestful ‘around the globe’ grand adventure
reigned first among my childhood dreams’ feature
either as ambassadress of good will
or a tourist bearing world-class stature.
Sizzling with vibrancy midst learning zeal
I would strive hard toward perfection seal
earning merits in Social Studies class
for various countries’ facts I could reveal.
Adding sweetness to such yearned accolade
was each triumphant achievement parade
like a “Miss United Nations” title
making me bubble with mirth, sans charade----

---Then that desire vanished midst divine air
vanquishing its essence of earthly glare
transforming mind to kingdom perspective
for reaching-out toward heavenly stare ---
Led by the Lord through Holy Spirit’s goal
prayer now is to win for Christ a soul
as His called-out Gospel ambassador*
fulfilling blest entrusted gracious goal.
What more should I long for, but God’s favor?
sharing His love’s gift to all with fervor…
today, I can minister globally
using technology’s offered savor.
*2Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
