These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

He's Coming, Again!

'Twas Christmastime when He first came.
However, not that date.
The world would never be the same.
His Gift would make some great!

His second coming is not yet,
but some will get the Call
to leave with He, Who paid their debt
to sup in the Marriage Hall.

The Rapture is the phrase we use
to speak of Blessed Hope
for those, whose hearts did not refuse
The One, Whose Blood is soap.

We know not when in a moment's time
the shout and trumpet sound
will take us to that Heavenly clime
forever to abound.

Will we at breakfast or supper dine
with those we love to live?
Will we at work or resting fine
have a moment's word to give?

Some may be here to write a post
a-sitting on a chair
when in a flash each body, ghost
will be gone over-
