Life–An Amazing GIFT

Each exquisitely brilliant or cloudy sunrise
encountered upon opening sleepy or excited eyes

of youth and vigor

or through hesitant days
due to sickness or aging
unfortunate and despised

can still focus upon another day granted,
realized, though glazed over
by today’s anxieties global in scope…

To inhale deeply
of air fresh and clean

or filtered of pollutants through mismanagement streamed… We still have ‘hope’…

Yes: “Every good gift and every perfect present is from above,” internationally seen:

Canyons, volcanos, snowflakes, raindrops,
dew on blades of grass individually gleaming

“coming down from the Father
of the celestial lights”… Said of Him: “God Is Love.”… Of ‘perfection’ comprised.

An artist magnificent… Though many don’t profess his existence, while awake…

Yet, during sleep an active brain processes data as they lie ‘dreaming’…

To whom does one credit this cycle of intelligence, not to an animal kingdom this fantastic ‘analization’ cleansing

nightly deemed?

Also, look at stars and galaxies, moons,
to schedule explores

to shores, valleys and more,
as prophecies too, like:

“They will build houses and live in them,
And they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage.”

“And the work of their hands
my chosen ones will enjoy to the full.”

Give us ‘reason’ to rejoice and cope…

Yes, based upon past promises fulfilled
as the ‘rainbow’ giving proof

that we can believe… As a ‘treasure’
these words and visions to ‘study’ and ‘store’.

Although, questioned:

as on a factory’s conveyor belt

weren’t we born
to eventually end
in ‘gravedom’

with unbecoming ‘dirt’
being ‘unfashionably’ worn?

Yes, I quote about this sadness
with gladness for sure:

“For the wages sin pays is death,”

no longer in debt
when ‘dead’

awaiting life to be ‘restored’… Spiritually and literally:

“Most truly I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes the One who sent me has everlasting life,

and he does not come into judgment but has passed over from death to life.” Although,
we to the end must endure. . .

But if entombed, loved ones
be assured:

“Do not be amazed at this,

for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice

and come out”. John 5:24, 28, 29.

And what-is-more,
offered a ‘gift’–

Everlasting life… Yes! “the gift God gives is everlasting life

by Christ Jesus our Lord.”

“Into your hand
I entrust my spirit.

You have redeemed me, O Jehovah,

the God of truth.… By multitudes: Adored.

Titillate my senses… Imagine!

Time

to develop hidden talents or encourage others to vast heights of ingenuity

able to rise and soar!
For provided this wonderful ransom
for ‘obedient’ mankind.

Because: “The fear of Jehovah is pure,
lasting forever.

The judgments of Jehovah are true,
altogether righteous.”

The ‘Rock’ “who does not vary
or change like the shifting shadows.”

As imperfect leaders are programmed to do…

Implores: “Taste and see that Jehovah is good;

Happy is the man
who takes refuge in him.”

Even under these clouds of darkness escalating
my heart has been refined.

Reminded to recall that: “He has made everything beautiful

in its time.

He has even put eternity
in their heart;

yet mankind will never find out
the work that the true God has made

from start to finish.”

Why I must live forever
after being ‘enlightened’
daily

my mind.
