Forever In Eternity


Such sorrow and strife those eyes have seen, Who's owners had endured. Such is that of a farmer's son, Who's been wiped clean and pure. The sins of this world, so tangled and knotted, So knotted he could not see. The choices he made, the things he had bade, Were pressing him far from Thee. When finally, at last! These things of the past He cast far away to sea. With a big open heart, He realized the work of art His Father had always seen. The Father welcomed him, With arms that drew in, the Love he had always wanted. The Kindness he'd dreamed, Like, forever, it seemed The Love that was truly meaned. Though not one to cry, he got a bit teary in the eye as he felt the love wash over him. Then he heard the One speak, Suddenly feeling meek, But strengthened at the words He said. "This is my child, one of mine.." He spoke with tears in his own eyes, "and nothing will ever take him." He looked at his son, The child's head was hung, As the weight of the words washed over him. "My son." He said, drawing him close, lead, "It is done." "My son, you will be, Always to me. Forever, In eternity."

I created this poem for every individual out there that has felt at one time or another as if they are "too far gone" to be loved, and feel Love, true, genuine Love, to the upmost fullest. I pray this poem brings you hope, and the knowledge that no matter who you are, there is always Someone who loves you, there is always redemption, and there is always Hope in every circumstance. -Ashley
