Remember Me

Even though you can’t see me

Even though you cannot see me
because I have passed beyond the tears
that conceals the glory of paradise;
that hides the shade of the tree of life,
I walk beside you and hold your hand
as you, strive to unify humanity.

Remember me,
as you plod across Armageddon’s battlefield
ministering to the wounded and the weary;
remember me and know that, that even though,
you cannot see beyond the smoke and dust of battle,
this stress and terror will pass.

Remember me when the dust clears
and the temple of faith is rebuilt,
when the scattered remnants of humanity
embrace without fear.
