A reminder of eternity
their best before their
dying
the rich colors of autumn
before the eternal season
dying in a blaze of glory
in joy and thanksgiving.
Joy in their dying
in the falling of the vivid
leaves
eternity awaiting after this
life
to walk with our Savior
hope overflowing
like waters of a spring.
For you and me, perfection
at the end of these days
walking with our Creator
in the courts of glory
alive, new colors abounding
in eternity, in heaven.
A palette beyond
comprehension
far greater than this
foretaste
remembering in their dying
new life will come to each
new clothes, new bodies,
in the courts of heaven.
We are the leaves on the
trees
growing in our season,
walking on the path
hopefully in the brighter
hues of autumn
before dying gloriously;
Garbed for eternity, for the
new garden,
the New Jerusalem
where we will walk again
with God.
