Eternal Love

What is left when it's all said and done?

When all we have is a prayer for one;

The distance to travel is far too long to go alone,

So we need some companionship and the love of home.

.

Forever is a long time in this world full of confusion,

Where lust, greed and envy is lost in an illusion;

Eternal love is our answer and solution to this,

In perfect unity of creation as subtle as a kiss.

.

We grow up and learn that the earth's all we have,

To live and survive on till we're finally saved;

There's plenty of everything if we'll only use our head,

And trust in our heart that God wants us lead,

.

For creation was doomed, "yes" right from the start,

But atonement we have if we will only be smart;

For Christ's perfect promise for all to have life,

To worship in church and all to take forth a wife.

.

So eternal love is an option available to us all,

If we will only choose it and pray till our call;

For lost and weary are those who subside,

And go on dying in senseless shame and pride.

.

So now I'm at rest with this thought in my heart,

Where eternal love is only beginning to start;

There's pleasure in giving and dieing to him,

When love is upon us and we're dead and we're dim.

.

Signed,

An Invitation.
