Psalm 131:2 

Indeed I am composed and quiet,
like a young child carried by its mother;
I am content like the young child I carry.

 

Only today

 

The future passed before me … children on center stage

Where has the time gone … existence now just a vapor

Finally now free … escaping the constant boiling rage

Thro humanness oft overdone … back to my childlike manor

 

Built upon a hill with stair steps of shining dreams

Stands a palace of crystal glowing in the Son

Peaceful and still as serenity slowly streams

An availability to all whose labor now is done

 

At night lighting the ever … a house of glitter below the clouds

Passing soft rays of hope towards the valleys and the pits

Bypassing all the clever … imaginations, fears and doubts

As this enslaves many souls … missing everlasting bliss
