My Future Poem by Gerry Legister

I want to see the changes
that lies beyond these doors,
to the gate of future ages
and see what heaven has in store.

Slowly, I am letting go
Of this temporal earthly illusion,
Finding the reasons to know,
why time possesses my season.

I think about my future
What destiny has to offer?
I want to know more than before
I go as a lamb to the slaughter.

In life, I want to find out
which galaxy has the realm of peace,
Which stars define, being so complete,
And which ones will never cease?

I want to hear the omnipotent God
A voice, that has power over my life,
being a shelter and my rear guard,
taking away all my misery and strife.

Today, I surrender,
and leave what I have now
to find the moment that will last forever
and be exactly sure that I know.

How the change will happen,
when I want to laugh, I cry instead,
the pain only gets deeper within
The very moment my eyes are blessed.

Tears rained down my face
I wish I could hold on a little more,
but my number has been replaced
and the angel has come to close the door.

When I closed my eyes
stars are circling that moment,
I forgot the light changed to darkness,
the only beautiful thing has peace constant.

I am thinking about my future
And the rewards that are to come,
When my breath is no longer here,
By then, my journey will be done.
