Embrace

Life is a journey to acknowledge the light
To be embraced by it and know it is right
Its power and majesty seen; even when out of sight.

No matter how may earthly days have gone by
We always live in the present until the day we die
A promise is a promise and we never have to ask why.

Death is the beginning for another time and place
Not always familiar nor with a brand new face
Perhaps not of the human but certainly another race.

To go where we have never been before
That earth is but a step toward another door
The giver keeps on giving and then gives some more.

Earth is a place whereon each human does dwell
A place and time that can serve us ill or serve us well
The voice of God is placed inside every sea shell.

We confuse ourselves by what we think we know
Rarely associate children as our seeds we sow
Life is for here and now and not from the minds; of long, long ago.

The giver of light, life and longevity does so to share
Just as our mind and sense's help us to prepare
To know of the future is exceedingly rare.

We humans must die in order to live
The cycle of life can only be broken by the one who gives
In order to be saved one must be intimate with the word forgive.
