At The Edge

When I stand at the edge by the Crystal Sea,
I want to know that You are forever with me--
When I stand at the edge by the Pearly Gate,
I want to know that You are my eternal mate--
When I stand at the edge when all hope is gone--
When I stand at the edge and sing Salvation's song--
When I stand at the edge when my life is through--
I want to hold Your hand and see Heaven in You.

When I stand at the edge by the Streets of Gold,
I want to know that Your Love will never grow old--
When I stand at the edge by the Mansion Fair,
I want to know that You will forever be there--
When I stand at the edge where angels rejoice--
When I stand at the edge and lift Redemption's voice--
When I stand at the edge and look at the view--
I want to hold Your hand and see Heaven in You.

Marcy,

I didn't even realize!

W O W !



Thank you for noticing and my imagination is real good... you know that I can almost see it as you described it...

...and even more important than all that, how is Trixie and her pups?  We hope the family is doing well.  Bob <><

(green teeth face here)...and how do you put icons in middle of post?..we should start a post for these important issues & not be messing up your

"terrific poem"... Marcy

Bob, this is a lovely sentiment and brings to mind the sincere love of finding that special love in "him" as well as one here on earth that shares the knowledge of "his" love.  Beautiful and as it should be.





Congrats on your 500!!!!

Marcy,

My kids want a puppy just like the one up above... Marge's suggestion is excellent.

Marge,

Thank you and I hope that we'll get an (A+) on that report...  I believe that when we reach Heaven, it will be a Glorious time in our Lord for certain.

Mark,

Thank you so much for the recognition and the beautiful lighthouse graphic.  And you are right, this poem can be taken either way... It is a beautiful thing when two Lighthouses  get together... sparks can really fly.

God bless everyone and thank you for all of your wonderful replies.  I do appreciate them all,  Bob <><

Bob,
  This is a very nice, and inspirational piece, and I love how you formatted it in the e-mail I recieved.  You truly are given a talent and I am persuaded that you will use it in an awesome way to minister to others, who need to hear such words of uplift and encouragement.
      God bless you friend,   David

And a big HOOOOOORAY on your 500th Post!!!


WOW- another day of life-and here among friends!

I feel like Dancin' a little Jig!!!



You Folks' replies are W O N D E R F U L,
Thank you, Bob



White Dove,

If we look deep inside, we can all find beauty in the most simple of things.  Thank you for your continued kind words.

Ellie,

Thank you for the "congratulations."  Like age, 500 kind of creeps up on you before you realize it... Beacon?  When I have expressed myself is simply when I have opened up and let His Light shine out. God Bless You.

Bonnie,

To get a compliment as this from one whose a master of "beautiful and heavenly" images is truly one I cherish.  Thank you.

Juls,

I believe it will truly be "spectacular" to look upon Heaven and I believe that I will view it with you and many of our friends here at Passion's.  God Bless You.

David,

It is so nice of you to refer to yourself as my "friend."  As you know Jesus refered to a "Friend" who sticketh closer than a brother...
... and I think that there may be no closer relatinship than that of a dear "friend."

Star,

Hello Star,

I don't believe that we met here at "Passions" before, please forgive me if we have... Anyway, it is nice to meet you and welcome.  Thank you for your kind reply, but I am merely a light house and Jesus is the Light.  I am so glad that your soul was touched.

Sand Grain,

Thank you for the Congratulations and You are heartwarming as well with your generous replies.
