These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Gift of Days

These days may seem a gift to be
when Time shall be no more.
The pain we felt we'll fully see
as the sanctifying door.

Each mother has a painful time
to birth her valued child.
The warmth she feels is so sublime
no memory e'er is filed.

The Face of Christ one Day we'll know
as Time fades with a breath.
The Word of God we daily sow
brings life beyond all death.

This life is mixed with good and bad.
Our hearts may often sigh,
but Hope can make our hearts feel glad,
until the By and By.
