Treasures of this world
of diamonds and gold
are just old dazzle
for eyes to behold
A temporary dwelling
was never meant to last
like the hours of time
it too shall pass
The measure of wealth
is not much at all
just a tiny morsel
when God comes to call
Heavenly treasures await us
so beautiful and fine
with eternal rest and peace
of a far lasting kind
No shadows of sorrow
or heartache and pain
only tears of happiness
will fall like rain
Love ones will greet us
on heaven's golden shore
oh what wonderful treasures
how could we ask for more
Beautiful prisms of sunlight
will dance on the ground
as we sit at the feet of Jesus
gazing upon his glorious crown
Let the rivers clap hands
and the mountains sing
eternal treasures are waiting
in heaven with the king

Susie, this is so touching. It makes me think of the old hymn, I'll Be Satisified, which has been on my mind this week. Thank you for such a wonderful poem!

Hi Susie, such a beautiful poem, I love the part about no shadows of sorrow, no heartache or pain. It reminds me of my dad's favorite scripture Rev 21: 3,4. He had me read it over and over to him when he was sick and the words kind of burned into my heart. It says "Then tent of God will be with men. And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, no mourning nor outcry, nor pain will be any more, the former things have passed away." I think about this a lot and it comforts me to know we have such a loving heavenly Father who wants to give us such things.
ReplyDeleteI look at the world sometime and all the war and suffering and wish that I had power to heal it and make it a safe, happy and loving place again. It's so comforting to know that God wants to, can and one day will! I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead, I couldn't believe it this morning when I peaked my head outside, the temperature was 72! Usually it is already in the 90's by late morning. It was my first hint that Autumn is on the way! With Love, Delisa :)
Thank you Yvonne, hope you have a nice weekend also..
ReplyDeleteThank you Delisa, I love the way you look at things and find the beauty in everything. I love that verse in the Bible too.
So glad the weather is cooling off some for you. We were a little cooler and today it is just as hot as ever. Hope you enjoy your weekend..Susie

ReplyDeleteHi Susie, I thought I would just pop by tonight and say hello! I hope you had a nice weekend. We had a relaxing day and made some homemade salsa and watched some old movies. A huge storm came through in the afternoon, with lots of lightening and thunder. But, it really cooled things down, freshened the air and filled up the pond! This is the first day I could feel a little touch of Autumn in the air. I hope you have a lovely evening ahead. Delisa :)
ReplyDeleteI was visiting Blushing Rose, and saw your big red flower, and had to come on over. I just love poetry. I always have, and I really enjoyed reading some of the ones you have posted. Your red flower caught my eye, and if you go to our blog, you will see why. Me and my daughters just started a new blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I would enjoy coming back to visit with you and reading all your wonderful poems. Hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day.
