A Perfect Day

by Linda Jackson  
11/07/2018 / Poetry

Birth pains seemingly started ages ago

I wonder how long they will last before a new life is shown

A day to You Lord is like a thousand years

The beginning of pains have produced heartache and tears

Nation against nation, famines, earthquakes

Pain harder and harder many forms it will take

Your children are hated, dark against Light

Deceit, lies stating wrongs are right

More pain as love grows cold, replaced by doubt

False prayers in hearts where emptiness shouts

 

The birth of Your coming seems so near

Satan can't stop it, his hate grows

Frustrated, the exact date he doesn't know

Birth is often like that and even ease between pains

A false time of rest, more victims he gains

 

Evil screams, he recognizes Truth

He knows the Lord is coming, satan's followers not so

They are of his darkness

The Day will come as a thief for their souls

I'm not of the night

I'm a daughter of the Day and of the Light

I will not be caught unaware

I seek Truth and I know

For Your Word tells me so

 

You instruct me to be alert, to control my mind

My breastplate of faith and love to put on

I pray it shines

My helmet, my hope, my salvation sure

By Your blood, glistening and pure

 

All evil that creeps in the dark are fighting a battle

They don't want me to take part

If I open hearts to the Day and the Son

Deaths grip will be loosed

Some will stay to die, some to You will run

 

I'm free from Your wrath

Lord, You say it's so, Your will be done

I'm encouraged that You are on Your way

Excited, waiting to feel the warmth of

Your perfect Day
