Poem
The Peaceful Servant
Ever been to a place where time forgot
It is so peaceful yet beautifully modern
Master works of art everywhere
Including the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Lots of crosses, books and pictures
One of kinds is there too
There are other rare items
Quality made with values long since gone
Some are so rare, only a few are left on earth
When you view them, you know they are good
The serene view is breath taking
The water is calm, not a ripple about
Everywhere is God’s handy work
The workers are just here to assist
God is in-charge over every detail
You can sense his mere presence
When you are a servant of God
You desire nothing else but his love
The calm you feel is almost surreal
The stresses of the day just slip away
You just sit about for a spell
Talking with friends and family
You reconnect with them, the batteries are recharged
At the same time, the Holy Spirit is hovering too
His presence assists us on earth
Providing peace and guidance
When you connect with God and do his work
Your soul becomes so peaceful
Other desires, hopes and dreams
Slip away never to return
Thank you God for spots like this
Where we can connect with you, family and friends
One day we’ll stand in heaven in your presence
Enjoying your eternal peace and wonders!
