Departure may be suddenly

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,  18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

 

Departure maybe sudden

 

How long to live my son? Today many pass on.

Will I warn you just in time ... as I prepare your way?

Some are taken suddenly ... as it appears to you

but do you really understand the Eternal day?

 

Did I prepare your mother? What do you think my son?

I showed her to be with you ... when you thought to be far away.

I did not even show you ... when I took her home,

but I showed it to your grandson ... who understood it that day.

 

Yes, my wondering marvel ... keeps painting life with words.

Ensure this generation ... that temporal is of essence.

Moments in an atmosphere ... appearing like forever

while time seems running out ... squeezed into the presence.
