Yesterday

Yesterday, as I stood among the reeds and the whistle of the wind and the softly falling rain,
I pondered the subject that I wouldn’t otherwise be so privy to this locale under differing circumstances.

Yesterday, as I listened to the song of the Mocking Bird and watched the Swans gracefully paddle across the pond,
I was filled with delight and awe at the splendor of God’s creation. “Just one more minute; I promise.”

Yesterday was the day I first exerted so much effort, first gave my whole body as a living sacrifice,
And yet, gained much more than I bargained for in return.

Yesterday I died.

    Ha ha! Yeah, sorry about that. I didn’t know how to end it. I wasn’t being morbid or anything; I meant to imply without expressly saying so that it was like Heaven at that pond.
