They Are Home- Safely Home~

I got this from

Tete @ Beyond The Garden Gate

T'WAS 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38,

When 20 beautiful children, 

Stormed through Heaven's gate.

Their smiles were contagious, 

Their laughter filled the air,

They could hardly believe 

All the beauty they saw there.

They were filled with such joy, 

They didn't know  what to say.

They remembered nothing of what 

had happened  earlier that day.

"Where are we?" asked a little girl, 

As quiet as a mouse.

"This is heaven." declared a small boy.

"We're spending Christmas at God's house."

Then what to their wondering eyes did appear,

But Jesus, their Saviour, 

The children gathered  near.

He looked at them and smiled, 

And they smiled  just the same,

Then He opened His arms and 

He called them by name.

And in that moment was joy, 

That only Heaven can bring,

Those children all flew into

The arms of their King.

And as they lingered, 

In the warmth of His embrace,

One small girl turned 

and looked at Jesus' face.

And as if He could read 

all the questions she had

He gently whispered to her, 

"I'll take care of mom and dad."

Then He looked down on earth, 

The world far  below

He saw all of the hurt, 

The sorrow, and woe.

Then He closed His eyes and 

He outstretched His hand,

"Let My power and presence 

re-enter this land!"

"May this country be delivered 

from the hands of fools"

"I'm taking back my nation. 

I'm taking back my schools!"

Then He and the children 

stood up without a sound.

"Come now my children, 

Let me show you around."

Excitement filled the space, 

Some skipped and some ran,

all displaying enthusiasm 

that only a small child can.

And I heard Him proclaim 

as He walked out of  sight,

"In the midst of this darkness, 

I AM STILL THE LIGHT."
