By Adoption

By adoption, The Divine has called him son and her daughter
He makes them kings and queens
He gives them grand palaces and assures them of all things
For neither he nor she has need of worry about life
Because the Divine is their Father and provider
However, the camera of life slowly begins to pan in on the king
At initial glance, he seems high and annointed and resting in full satifaction
And this makes sense
For we know that the Divine has led this king through deep valleys
And the Divine has led this king by the stillest of waters
He has protected him even from the reaches of Sheol
But, following closer inspection, the king's focus is not straight up to His beloved Divine
Nor does he look to the undeserved kingdom of His inheritance
But he looks to his right, plagued by a visage of emptyness
And to his right is another throne.
