Hope and time


Ecclesiastes 3:1 

A Time for All Events in Life

3 For everything there is an appointed time,
and an appropriate time for every activity on earth:

 

 

Hope

 

Satisfaction guaranteed ... come on to the circus.

Smiling clowns and noise surely are your fulfillment.

Humanity at its best ... children find enjoyment.

Reality gone for a while ... as dreams are being mended.

 

Unusual feats and special treats ... time is standing still.

At least dimensions moved ... from the real it seems.

An oversized tent contains the rent ... of space and time in oneness.

Surprises found in every round ... as somewhere life redeems.

 

“Get a life”, says friend and wife ... take things as they come.

Look ahead and redeem the sad ... joy comes in the mourning.

Remove the curse of the waiting hearse ... death should be gone

when born again “Life without end” ... resurrected into Glory.
