Light: true or artificial ...


1 John 5:4 

4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. 

And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

 

Birth (in spirit)

 

A stillborn child never saw the light?

Light of the world that is     

An aborted child did it feel fright

Fright of a world … gone “amiss”?

 

Is it a blessing to depart before missing

the little this world has to offer?

Is it better to travel directly into Heaven

By-passing this world’s empty coffers.

 

The question we ponder, looking up yonder,

is our thoughts of the “ Crystal Sea “.        

Life is a wonder … a gift from up yonder

from the “Ruler of All“ … for even “me”
