Story of Eternity

Once just a child 

Wild with wonder

I would sit eyes locked 

With the face in the mirror

The longer I stared 

The more the face would change

Giving more than a glance 

I noticed detailed things

I questioned with a thought

Which face do others see

The one that I glance at

Or the me that looks foreign

Even to me

Lost in a moment

Where I knew

I know nothing

Not at all about how people see or perceive me

Lost in an infinite reality

Where I don’t know who I am

Or if in fact anyone needs me

Feeling insignificant

I searched for love and comfort

Lost in made up stories 

I lived through characters glories

To read a book or see a film

With a character going unseen

Then suddenly get pulled Into Some fantasy

Where the worthless one was now royalty

From a world of nothing 

To being a savior 

Of a world no one ever sees

I drew in close with excitement to see

The depiction of a world near ours or even intermingled

With magic and creatures and the gift of life eternal

But the one thing I read completely enraptured 

Was the passion of a heart

For the character who had nothing at the start

In an instant one would go from being unseen

To becoming someone special enough

To love and die for

And fight for adamantly

I thought that these stories

We’re fictional things

But the truth is my eyes were opened 

And it’s more true than it seems

See I was brought out of a life 

Where the world taught me I was nothing

Then I found Jesus 

And everything was shifting

I was brought into a reality 

Where we all battle our demons 

I went from an orphan to royalty

And there is one who loves me so passionately 

He died to save me

I would read those books looking for a feeling 

The Whole time I never realized 

I had the passion of Christ in my reality

So now like the character in my stories

I’m in an exciting new world where I fight the dark in the spirit

I have a light, a force, an energy that comes from within me

The evil that plagues doesn’t stand a chance

Because of the love of The Son of Man

I walk around eagerly 

Loving the people around me 

Whether they do or do not see

There is a world full of truth and excitement just waiting for you 

It’s no secret

The Lord loves you passionately 

And he’s waiting for you too!
