Whoopsie...

Okay, so I was rooting through my writings and discovered that I actually had finished one of the poems that I listed in my previous post. Sorry!

So, to make up for it, I will post it in this entry. (I did mention that I am not experienced at poetry, so any constructive comments are welcome; but please do not rip and tear it apart.)


To Lose This World

Have you not heard?
To lose this world is to leave a legacy behind,
The memories that could fill a book
Someone will come along and find.

Do you not know?
To lose this world is to awaken those who love you,
They will understand the value of those they cherish,
And will hold tighter to friends both old and new.

Do you not understand?
To lose this world is not unlike finishing a race,
You have crossed the finish line,
You are about to reach a new place.

Have you not realized?
To lose this world is to find long-lost friends on the other side
People you’ve not seen or heard from in years,
All gathered together, watching you with growing pride.

Do you not see?
To lose this world is to enter a realm of wonder,
It is to behold the True King on His throne,
Who saved us from sin; from being torn asunder.

Do you not believe?
That in reality,
This really isn’t goodbye,
Because to lose this world is to gain an eternity.
