My Lord
is not your typical boss
My Lord does not extort His children's wages
He adorns them with crowns of salvation
My Lord's love is ungoverned by the scepter of time
for it is eternal
He was
is
and will forever love you.
Look into His eyes.
Do you not see them
filling up in teary angst?
His arms outstretched
longing for your embrace.
"Come home, my Child
Here you will find rest and ever lasting love.
I will clothe you finer than the flowers
I will wipe every tear from your cheek
that sadness will be a long-forgotten memory.
The world has beaten you down
but I will lift you up."
