To Encourage Greatness…

To encourage greatness is to reach beyond the grasp of your own life and promote the destiny of others.

(from page 17 of upcoming book)

“And sing the day!” Choirmaster called,
“Awaken and rejoice;
For here on Sunday morning’s tide
All shout with glory’s voice.”

The members heard and lifted high
Their voice in one accord
To raise the roof on lofty bough
And sing unto the Lord.

They waited as their voices rose
To see what would become
Of heaven-bound uplifted praise
And prayers sent up as one.

Then in the midst of all the noise
Yes, one by one they felt
There in their hearts the Spirit came
And one by one they knelt.

Upon the waves of waltzing light
Dreams but do implore
So we wade in morning light
To see the other shore

And on that day when life does close
When light around us dims
We’ll reach the other side of life
Wherein His light won’t end.

Is but a breath ‘til we depart
Where shadows act as truth
Here they bathe as rambling lies
And try our hearts to soothe.

Those who’ve lived now know the more
They do not seek to stay
They’ve seen the lot; they’ve seen the best
But still they go away.

A tweak to this and tweak to that
Yet days continue by.
…but if could see all from Day One
All in the great mind’s eye….
