I saw a stranger in the street along life’s way.

He was knocking on people’s doors both night and day.

Asking all that would hear his voice speak.

Won’t you let me in for I am lowly and meek?

But no one would hear him their door they had barred.

And I saw the stranger crying so pitifully loud and hard.

Why don’t you want my presence within your dwelling?

And then mine own heart within my soul I found failing

Failing to comprehend the true price that this man in the street.

Had paid so that one and all might someday be able to meet.

In a paradise beyond the realm, we now live in as our present home.

To live in mansions, he is preparing in his kingdom round his throne.

Then I looked again only to see in front of my lowly eyes.

No longer was the man to be seen but something else that did fly.

Upon the apex of my heart doeth it linger within my very soul

And I must have its story to everyone i know told.

This dove’s wings have lighted not only upon my heart today.

But also, has brought the light that once had been so far away.

To the point that the glimmer of its rays now touched my very insides.

Now i am covered with Christ robe of righteousness and I am alive.

Now I ask each one this question and ask you to tell the truth.

Has this small white dove’s wings by you ever been bruised?

Did you also like I brush it aside with the sweep of your hand?

Not knowing it had been sent to you by this meek and lowly man.

Jesus said I am meek and lowly in heart and now I understand.

Mankind’s sins have burdened his load as he walked this earth’s land.

Causing him pain and suffering undeserved ore and ore again.

When all God wanted to do was walk beside us holding our hand.

My heart has been torn into by the events I once again must endure,

Never had I felt such forlorn and emptiness on this earth.

For once again I have traveled the path I thought impossible,

The sadness within my heart causes tears within my eyes to pool.

Not long ago this scene I had been a part of and I find that it seems,

Now I am feeling as though I am somehow living within a dream.

It cannot be that one has to endure the pain within my heart,

Once again I have seen one I loved so dearly from this world depart.

How can this be that I have not once but twice so soon to have lost,

Those I hold so dearly in my life, for I cannot bear the cost.

Of a lifetime of ties that have been suddenly ripped apart,

And within my being now lies a shattered, broken and bleeding heart.

Help me this day to see how this could possibly bring anything good,

For my life I’d gladly laid down in place of my loved ones if I could.

Oh to see something worth living beyond this day that I am in,

Would be at least something to help me start living life once again.

Afar in the distance dimly I see something coming within my vision,

Is it possible that I have been given an answer to the reason.

Of why I must go on in this my journey upon this earth which I now trod,

I find myself held close to a being like none other and I know it is God.

He is telling me this is not what I had wanted for you to have endured,

For I had created mankind to live forever without a single fear or tear.

In time to come all sorrow and pain will be erased with no trace about,

Don’t give up, a mansion awaits you and yours in your Father’s  house.

Where our loved ones will gather once again in a reunion the like never before seen,

And looking back upon this life we now live in will seem but like a dream.

For the reality is, this world is but a testing ground upon which we now do trod.

A family reunion will be given like none seen before, for the children of God.
