silently waiting

Silently He bowed His head

and said, Lord, "It is done."

He passed from earth

and willingly

gave all that He was worth.

Now silently the earth does wait

for Him to rise again

and on that day

the third of all

salvation will He win.

Throwback: 1/29/2009...a day dear to my heart...my poetical birthday.

Make me like the first star in the night
who gazes across at the moon
while the crescent moon gazes lovingly back
till he loses his love to the noon.
When night falls again with his twinkling stars
the moon to his love will stay true,
he'll wait for his star to come back to his light
like I will come back to you.

The second "real" poem I ever wrote, written almost exactly 4 years ago today (give or take an hour or maybe 2 hours).
