Between Now And Eternity Poem by Danny Speicher

Stuck between now and eternity’s shore
Pursuing a call, praying I heard right
Hurting from work, but, somehow, wanting more
Wishing I’d find a wink of sleep at night

Oh, how life is complicated right now
Wanting to be who God called me to be
Not knowing just what or exactly how
But, I fight for hope, I fight to be free

And relationships they come and they go
Some, longer than others, stay by your side
But, when their departure just isn’t known
It’s tough to know just how much to confide

Though I’m not alone, I’m lonely inside
I feel I’m throwing myself on the sword
Not knowing if work is my hope or pride
Time is a luxury I can’t afford

Stuck between now and eternity’s shore
God grant peace in my tumultuous heart
Even though now, my own voice I abhor
Give me Your courage, Your words, to impart
