All The Lost Vantage Points Of Time

A poem on our responsibility to one another as brothers and sisters in Christ, harking back to some of my earliest thoughts as a Christian.

All The Lost Vantage Points Of Time

 

I know that look in his dreary eyes,

The lonely ache in his breaking heart;

For it has been mine,

And it shall be mine again

And should I now be he,

The plea on his tear-strewn lips would be mine;

For formerly it has been,

And so it shall one day be again

So now, indeed, I hear my plea;

Thus, have I not been asked to spare myself?

Shall I ever spare myself?—

And extend my able hand to help the poor, sore child I was?—

The child I still know I can be inside?—

When I cried?

All those times I cried?—

Having thought the great big world would hear my sobs

And turn aside to dab these eyes,

Or that my mother’s heart was full of love:

When I cried?


Oh, if I hate to see it be,

Then it must start

—Oh Lord, my God!

 

Must it start with me?
 
 
 
"Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor,
will also cry himself and not be heard."

Matthew 18:3 KJV And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Psalm 56:8 KJV Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

Revelation 21:4 KJV “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Praise God!
