Child of Glory

[A Poem]

This is, again, an older poem (from earlier this year) which I found myself reflecting on today. Don’t worry! New poems and posts coming. I hope you all enjoy!

Child of Glory

Glory Child, 
    Lift up your eyes! 
        Still, the sun shines! 

Glory Child, 
    Why do you cry? 
        Go ahead, 
            and Lift up your eyes! 

Fire may fall
    and Storms may rage
        But ask me, 
            and I will turn the page! 

Though it rains ashes
    and Though you choke on dust
        Cash in on your inheritance
            It declares, “In God we Trust!”

No more weeping. 
    No more grieving.

Honor Child, 
    Lift up your gaze! 

Your Father in Heaven has heard you! 
I WILL TURN THE PAGE! 

From the ashes
    will spring rivers of living waters! 
and From the dust
    the foundations will rise up! 

Wild-eyed wanderer, 
    you are a Child of Honor! 
Wide-eyed ponderer, 
    you are a Child of Glory! 

Lift up your eyes! 
    The sun still shines!
