Downer Days, Depart

"Death has been swallowed up in victory." (1 Corinthians 15:54b, NIV)

 

Downer Days, Depart

I’m looking forward to a date

Excitement builds. I cannot wait.

Oh, holiday –

Do not delay,

Just drive on, days, at rapid rate.

My misery in waiting grows

In mornings gloomy and morose.

A few days hence,

And joy intense

Will raise me to my tippy-toes.

A lot can change in three short days,

As haunted hole its loss betrays.

The Lord broke death,

Regaining breath.

E’ermore the world resounds in praise.
