An eternity of time
That they do not see
All are blind leading blind
Towards further bondage and misery
Mountains will move
with just a simple seed
But we must spread the mustard
If they are to taste their need
Few and very far between
And I'm still sitting here
While many have not yet seen
My Lord so very dear
So I drip my tears
Like wet concrete
to abound my fear
Encased are my feet
Then I see my need
For the red letters
Which then frees my keep
for all the beggars
Which are blessed in due time
by Him who makes all well
He who sits at the right
Who took our three nails
He is the reason for my prescence
In this distant land
For me to spread his essence
And just to be his hands

Welcome back, Jfreak! Long time no see! Wonderful poem! Hope you hang around here for a while! Say, did you get a chance to check out the new 'Spiritual' forum?! Great stuff in there!

No Denise I haven't had a chance to see all the new gizmos the forums have.  I am kind of lost.  Like going home to find the house totally renovated.  Nan and the guys have done a wonderful job making this what is from what it was in the beginning.  It is just nice to be back.  Like I said, like being home.  Look forward to more great poetry.  Thanks "D" for the warm welcome back.  We are all truly a family.

Jfreak-
There is a poignant message in
this piece.
Very, very well done.
