HOLY GLOW
Optimistic hope
Quite alive and well
On this dreary December day
Twinkling shards of ambition
Holy glow
Disintegrates the darkness
The kindness of a stranger
Unexpected smile
Glowing words of exhortation
Gentle human touch
Our world decays with rapid haste
Ancient scriptures
In silence
Come to pass
Epic battle lines are drawn
No call for apprehension
For it is clearly written
Good
Shall rise triumphant
Gather closely children
Our Savior’s day draws nigh
Ecclesiastes 9:11-12 (King James Version)
11I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
12For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
