Eternal Life God used his Holy Spirit His son, to inherit Life again; Eternal life For the world, for our sins At He rose again too; Eternal life In baptism we die with Him Trusting in God, we rise with Him To new life; Eternal life Christ rose from the dead Never to die again, it is said To the glory of Eternal life Freed through God’s grace No longer the slavery of sin to face Ours a life of freedom; Eternal life Not guilty is our sentence Freed to a life in obedience God is in control; in Eternal life A life of choice Choosing to obey God's voice To gain His approval; to Eternal life To righteousness bonded Under the yoke of sin not laden A holy life; Eternal life Refusing the process of eternal doom Accepting rewards nought of gloom The free gift of God; Eternal life Eternal life © gillena cox 2007 Eternal life a meditation on Romans Chapter Six |

About the Poet
I live in Trinidad of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago; a
multi ethnic, multi religious society. I write poetry for the sheer joy of crafting my feelings, my emotions my thoughts. I enjoy the challenge of abstraction in writing haiku. Married to Anthony Cox in 1971; we have a daughter Yanda and a son Khama. I was born in 1950
