His Coming

 

In the distance

Do you see what I see?

Over there, that star

Whatever could it be?

A star?  Are you sure?

But it’s getting bigger!

And it’s getting brighter

But I still can’t figure.

Maybe a satellite

Looming bright

But whatever it is

It’s a magnificent light.

A UFO, perhaps

They’ve been lots of those,

Whether a star or satellite

Only God knows.

It’s a weird feeling though

That wondrous light,

It’s pretty much beginning

To light up the night.

Wait, others are seeing it

It’s on the news,

Right now they are all

Expressing their views

I am getting a feeling

A very strange feeling

But it couldn’t be that

That I think I am seeing.

Tell me what it is

That you think you see,

Come on! Be a sport

And share it with me.

No time for sport

If it is really so,

I am very sorry for you

If you do not know.

It’s getting bigger

And rapidly so,

It’s getting brighter too

I believe soon we’ll know.

I am hearing a sound

Can you hear it too?

It’s becoming louder

As it gets nearer our view.

Could it really be?

Is this what I see?

The return of Christ,

Could it really be?

A few days shy of Christmas

Has he returned?

While we are preparing

And for Christmas we yearn?

He has come again

Just like he said he would

Now you long to do better,

If only you could.

Too late for that

It’s your worst Christmas ever,

When given your chance

Your reply was never.

I wish you were ready

For the coming of that star,

Like this year’s Christmas

It may not be far.

No time to prepare

When Jesus has arrived

No time for the dead

Or them that are alive.

Not like this scenario

And this poetic debate,

There’ll be no time to discuss

Your eventual fate

Light lightning it says

He will be here

No time brother or sister

To say a prayer.

As this little scenario

Plays over in your mind

It would be prudent

To pray at this time.
