These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Lasting Day

The days of life upon this globe
are filled with things to do.
The Lasting Day will have a robe,
agreeing with The True.
(John 14:6,KJV)

The days of life see a growing child,
a youth and adult blest.
The Lasting Day will see a smile
beyond each earthly test.

The days of life are classes same
to train us while we're here.
The Lasting Day in Praise or flame
by Christ or in our fear.

The days of life know wondrous friends,
and sadly some are not.
The Lasting Day will hearts full mend,
though some will be forgot.

The days of life are days of grace.
Salvation here receive.
The Lasting Day cannot replace
what's bought by those deceived.

The days of life are but a wisp
of vapors from our lungs.
The Lasting Day in Moment crisp
we'll enter, songs be sung.

The days of life, The Lasting's Womb,
we gestate, and we grow.
The Lasting Day, beyond the Tomb,
"I'll know as I am known."
(I Corinthians 13:12, KJV)
