Your Kingdom Come

Weeping echoes no more in the hazy war torn streets.
The churning insides of our beings replaced with inner peace.

Behold the laughter of innocent children frolicking in the plains.
Their parents tranquilly enjoying life with song and dance---no pain.

Witness the animal kingdom united in harmony,
As the lamb, the wolf, and the grizzly bear bask side by side with glee.

Our aching for those lost in death transforms to ecstasy,
As we embrace them close in our arms----soon a reality!

Yes, this glimpse into the future is a promise we can trust!
For our God who cannot lie has sealed it with His love.

God pleads, "Come under my mighty wings, you indecisive ones."
He'll protect you from all harm, as you listen to His Son.

(Isaiah 2:2-4, 11:6-9, John 5:28-29, Revelation 21:3-5)

This is a sequel to my poem, Gone.

I've had close encounters with Christ and have been on the other side. Very beautiful, perhaps the same as the millennium. Either way is fine with me. Great poem Susan !

A beautiful yet true testimony, Susan. His Love is the strength of our soul. It enables us to endure witnessing the horrors that man inflicts on man and nature. A gorgeous piece of penmanship, rooted in the holy scriptures. Excellent poem. May love light your path to peace always.

Ecstasy! People who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy (Jonah). Our Jesus is a gentleman. Only the arm twisting of love. And Heaven waits. Your poem has that captivating succinct beauty. You write to give important answers.

We all hope for the kingdom of God. There are many great prophesies in the bible which give us the assurance that the future is bright if only we can repent from sins. Nice craft, Susan.
