Pilgrim. Poem by dave lessard

I am a pilgrim on earth
but earth is not my home
I live in the universe
it's there where I will roam.
I am a follower of truth
my connection's with the Spirit
joined with a heavenly host
not yet there but very near it.
I live in temporary dwellings
here one day and gone tomorrow
to return some far-off time
to a world that knows no sorrow.
To a world that has but peace
and joy and smiles and laughter
where the future's burning bright
by the things that come hereafter.
I speak of Christ's return
that's promised in the Bible
not playing harps on clouds
and certainly not idle!
