"When"

 

  "When"

 

    When all dreams die,

where does the heart go?

    Is it permanently buried

under blankets of snow?

    When all good in life

comes to an end;

    where can one go

or turn to then?

    When your sun stops shining

and storm clouds appear;

    does one walk in the rain

to hide falling tears?

    When will my God

just call me Home?

    Everything on earth is black;

and I feel so alone.

    When this life is over

and from pain I am free;

    I will dwell with my Savior...

for He died for me.

    When my time here

on this earth is through;

    I'll know that I am coming

Home...to be with YOU.

I liked the poetry. Knowing what is true and accepting the savior is always near.
" I'll know that I am coming
Home...to be with YOU."

" I will dwell with my Savior...
for He died for me."

This is the most powerful Stanza. I love this poem and the deep message perceived. Sometimes people are called home, too early it seems to us, but it is in God's plan to bring everyone home when he says the time is right. Thank you for sharing this amazing piece

Not really, as a Christian we have to stay busy sowing His seeds for the lost. Kathie

[wordman]

well kathie as christians we must feel god in our lives before we can portray him too others
and i feel most do not

[Perkele.7885]

Our life on this Earth soon to be o'er, we as Christians can look forward to God's promise for us in the hereafter. We can do our Earthly jobs till our days are through, then after that life begins, anew!

Such a strong testament to your faith... you pose questions that many of us ask during different periods of our lives but each life has a purpose (though it's not always clear) and it is up to us to find it and carry it out... nicely-written, Kathie.

If He cared enough to give His life for all of us, I feel He will help us carry it all. Kathie

You is testimonial to your faith. I too believe thru Christ that anything can be done and that thru him I will go to a better place when this mortal life is over. The poem is well writen and has great images of a bleak world. I myself have not felt the bleaknest that you are discribing and am not looking forward to its end as much as you seem to be spelling out. Still not everuone sees things the same. This style lends to an ebb and flow that takes the reader forward at a graceful speed. I have not tried this style but will now that I have read your work. Great write.
