Poem to Christ

We are of the dust of the earth,
Made, with purpose, to walk and trod.
Through realizing our purpose,
Can we grow closer to God.
As I finally realize what He gave us,
With my human eyes and my soul’s sight,
Will I know what was meant to be,
Only what should be readied for the good fight.
Therefore, I must go forth with His Grace,
Carrying my cross every day without fear.
Knowing times will be tough and hard,
Also recognizing I must continue to See and Hear.
My steps take me closer to you, my God.
They take me even closer, building my self-worth.
I know when my soul finally returns to you,
My body, as dust, to the earth I shall return.
