In a Mirror Dimly

in a mirror dimly
one day face to face
come the blessings of the Lord
as we run this race

yet, sometimes not an inkling
is given to our eyes
blessings of the Lord
may come in great disguise

much as the two were walking,
with Jesus by their sides,
they did not recognize Him
though He could feel their sighs

then when it was time
He melted the scales that hid the view
He broke the bread and raised the cup
then disappeared on cue

amazed, in deep awe,
they gazed across the floor
deeply into their eyes
His presence was no more

yet fully, ever fully
was each of them aware
the Son of God, the Christ Himself,
had without a doubt been there
