The Life That Sat Among Us
by Ruby Harris Life sat among us Brought into the world by pain. Growing into a special gift from Heaven, Crossing our paths time and again. Pain again affected that life Just seeming to be a thorn in the flesh. Hope brought survival for a while. The soul was often touched afresh. Then the pain dug in deeper. Solace was hunted, the pain to hide. Closing the door that once allowed entrance Barred by instances of foolish pride. The battle raged, wanting victory to stay. Some days it seems as though won. Then came the days the staff was needed Leaning on the support wishing the pain gone. Now the life that sat among us Moved to a dimension that is his fare. Sitting in the presence of one so great That no pain will be allowed there. We are left to look at where life sat Hoping somehow it might reappear. But, we only have to remember his character Knowing somehow, our hearts, he can hear. The life that sat among us Left far more than he could know for we can smile inside amongst the tears Letting our friends and fellow workers know That we can experience the same great joy That we felt as we passed where he sat Looking inside and feeling his compassion Living life with no regret. So the life that sat among us Sits in rapture sweet and rare Enveloped in the life that gave him life Reminding us we can meet him there. Wednesday, January 16, 2008 Ruby Harris inspired by all who love the life that sat among us My poems are spiritual lessons God teaches me in my walk with Him. The more I learn, the more I find I need to be taught by Him. If we really want to be like Him we have to be ready for all the changes He brings to us. Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
