THE WAITING

 
 
 
 Those who abide will receive their award
 The philosophy of many learned people
 Follow in the footsteps of the strong,
 The righteous, the forgiving and the just
 Know that darkness will never overcome
 The sage remind us of the Sacred Light
 We must never adjust to idleness
 There is too much to do and time is short
 Many are waiting for our help
 Do we say yes to the call or just ignore
 Are we attentive to the world’s condition?
 Lovely cruises in warm climates sound great
 But feeding those suffering starvation feels good
 Inspect the condition about you
 What can you do to help improve it?
 If this is the road you wish to take, remember
 You must be strong and persevere because
 It is an uphill climb and when you get to the top
 You must realize that the journey has just begun
 Some, including myself, are on the edge of the end
 It would be easy to fold and walk away, but
 Prudence advises that you would become depressed
 You stay light and lively by giving of yourself
 The Sea of Galilee is green and full of life
 Trees, vines, flowers and shrubs grow abundantly 
 For every drop of water it receives, it gives back
 The same to the Jordan River which then flows to
 The Dead Sea where no life exists or could thrive
 Every drop of water it receives it keeps
 Where do you want to be?
 Angelic spirits must be your guide
 Open up and do what you know is right
 When looking back you will have no regrets
 Your home in the Kingdom will be waiting for you
