How Poem by Carmela Patterson

How much more must we suffer anguish?
How much more will we wantonly languish?
How is it the world is weaving and heaving?
How is it peoples are leaving and grieving?
How much more will the lands be soaked?
How many years will we be so cloaked?
How many ages through earth so dry?
How many the tears people will cry?

One day the tears will cease
And there will be gentle peace
Anguishing no longer a chore
Languishing will be no more
Grieving will be ended
Broken hearts will be mended
And souls will be transcended.

How is it we are gifted with the reward
Of the hope of eternity with the Lord
Where angels sing in rhythmic accord
To the Triune Godhead who is adored
In Heaven where every blessing is poured?
We Thank and Praise Him for the award.
