Thoughts from Yesterday

As I was going through some papers of my deceased mother, I came upon a couple of poems I wrote in the early to mid 1970's and sent to her, (I had forgotten that I wrote them). Here is one.

When tongues pass away 

and knowledge shall cease,

then shall I be glad

in Thy glorious peace.

When my sorrow is gone

and my tears cease to be,

when in Thy likeness 

I awake Thy face to see.

When I have apprehended

when I have fought the fight,

when I have gained the crown

by Thy Spirit, not my might.

Then shall I be glad

when my crown is at Thy feet,

for in Thee O my God

shall my rest be complete.

I told my mother in the letter that as I read through the poem I was blessed and I hoped she would be too.  My prayer today is for those who may read through the poem to be blessed also.
