"To Live"

To live this freedom now
As openings allow,
Share life as lived within
Restricted life – and win –

The vision of the kids
Whose lives within our midst
Could see a vision bold
Once they of life are told.

“Is this just all there is?”
They ask, as visions fizz;
“A needle at the end –
Beneath the floor boards’ bend”.

Why, no, far more exists
Above those who resist;
Some hear on novel’s page,
On-screen, on net engaged –

In life beyond “Just this”;
A life by heaven kissed;
O Lord, please open eyes,
Pull thanks from what’s despised.

That group is far too big;
He thinks it can be rigged;
But once up on the layer,
His acts will shift to prayer.

Lord, as I do this day
Give words You’d have me say;
Ope’ eyes that I might see
Folks in reality.

Thanks Lord for this.
