Twinkling Of An Eye


                  (*) (1st. Cor. 15:52 )

 

With eyes fixed on a digital clock

What I observed may seem strange

With the blinking of the eye

I could fail to see a number change

 

Yes, just a twinkle is all it took

For a new one to appear

My mind wandered to Corinthians (*)

I found a great truth to be clear

 

At the sounding of a trumpet

The dead in Christ shall rise

Free from corruption, to be with Him

Forever home, beyond the skies

 

For many years, some have lived

In a body, wracked with pain

But in that twinkle, God will give

What medical efforts failed to obtain

 

I marvel that how sudden

This transformation does occur

But, "His ways are higher than ours"

This, I'm sure we can concur 

 

Marvelous are God's attributes

Far above what we can comprehend

To all who accept His invitation

Unmerited grace He does extend 

 

No infirmities, will Heaven know

Pain and sorrow no more will be

He will give, - in a twinkle

Eternal bliss, - for eternity

About the Poet
I live in N.C., and have been writing poetry for several years. Writing is the greatest "outlet" I have ever experienced to release my inner emotions, and express my stance on spiritual issues. Most compositions, are derived from observing "down-to-earth" events that occur around us. Many offer a personal "mini-story" with a metaphor of spiritual implications that portray God as the ultimate solution to life's problems. My goal is that any and all compositions will present Christ and His sacrifice at Calvary as the solution to problems encountered along our journey.
