These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Days Beyond

Days beyond the tests we face
will shine in richer hues
for we will learn our lasting place
as when we've paid our dues.

Days beyond confusion's gray
will see the sun to rise.
Victory can't say Him, "nay,"
returning to its size.

Days beyond all falling tears
will see the smile to break
through all the lasting little fears,
to solace greatly take.

Days beyond Hope's latest test
when danger is removed,
we'll settle in His bless-ed rest,
and live as those reproved.
