Just One Day To Write A Poem! Poem by Denis Martindale

Within the dream I dreamt last night, the Lord declared to me,
My final day of blessed insight for prose and prophecy…
Such that I knew a final time, a time of utmost grace,
To write a poem so sublime, God's smile shone on His face…

That's when I woke and prayed and prayed, reflecting on my death,
Then suddenly no more dismayed, as long as I had breath…
I started my computer then, to wait upon the Lord,
What should I preach to reach all men, so they could live assured?

That's when I wrote of Calvary, of Jesus there with John,
The Lamb of God who died for me, then suddenly was gone…
The way Christ's death changed everything, sins pardoned in His Name,
The Holy Spirit still to bring, the reason why Christ came…

That's when the final verse was done, or so it seemed that day,
For Christ appeared, God's risen Son, to take my soul away…
But this I pleaded, ‘Type one verse! Add something more, right here! '
A chance such that Christ's message stirs and casts out all my fear…

That's when I died and left this Earth, that poem left behind,
For all God's saints to test its worth, when Jesus was so kind…
Together, we, two poets shared, how God had blessed us so,
The day we typed, Christ proved God cared, when time for me to go…
