Far Away Glow, Life's Gems In Celestial Fires

Divine throne, were His Love and Truth never expires
Where rests understanding well beyond mortal grasp
In our brief journeys walked upon earthly realm
Too often we seek dark, sad and wasteful desires.

Far away glow, Life's gems in celestial fires

Beneath us rests Hades first huge, welcoming gate
With billion easy maps telling just how to reach
When we think of high heaven, streets of solid gold
We forget, fallen sheep are at mercy of Fate.

Far away glow, Life's gems in celestial fires

Yet in this Universe burns true soul saving Light
Eternal embers of bright celestial fires
He that molded man from created earthen clay
Would not have done so unless it all would end right.

Far away glow, Life's gems in celestial fires

Be of good cheer, there are doors to such paradise
Keys that require such a sincere and simple plea
Bread and water in Truth, He sent from far above
Already paid, with blood of his Son's sacrifice.

Far away glow, Life's gems in celestial fires

Could only muster enough writing energy to edit an old poem today.
Hope tomorrow to reach a happier place and maybe write something new..
