These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

If I Wrote Another Book

If I wrote another book,
what would it be called?
Would it be of a forward look
or of some past, that stalled?

Would Quest be grown, and finally home
or his early years with Mom?
Would the preacher's family in their roam,
write their first-time earthly psalm?

Would the preacher's wife share her joy
of the Heavenly, lasting peace?
Would the wounded girl and boy
tell of their joy increased?

Would the Rapture and the Reign,
now-past, reveal The Truth,
that God, Who made has come again,
Creation's blest new youth?

To write a story's one great gift
for those, who know the How.
A thought of Hope will others lift,
forever, made right now.
