You
held
my hand
I fell asleep
I woke with the Lord
my soul to keep
In the Book of Life
tis writen that
perfect day
After all,
we were never meant
to stay
Born anew
I look forward
to seeing you
At Heaven's pearly gates
Jesus
awaits
like a
father
I never knew
I'm at complete rest
in my Savior's
arms
Completely healed from
all of life's
perils  
and harm
I send peace on the wings
of
a Dove
Knowing full well
I have been
truly
Loved.

God of
                               hinges skeleton
                                                keyed holes
Peer through
                        looking glass
                                               salt coals
Fire by day
                          heap kindness
                                               upon high
Refined clay
                         vessel's pearl
                                                fingers pry

Thankful,
every jot and tiddle
Beauty for ashes
contains.
Each burden gifted
Open arms receive.
Master,
tutor life's moments like rain.
Take no prisoners
released shame.
Forgiveness relief
no yoke deceive.
Everyday repeat refrain.
Daily,
freedom moments lifted.
Springs forth joy's sonnet.
A heart full rhyme
sings it's fiddle.
Gratitude,
orchestrates my one desire.
Each step depart
muck from mire.
