Three Score And Ten

 My ears are anointed, but I cried when I heard..

My heart was overwhelmed, as I listened to each word.

I looked upon the jewel, as she sat next to me..

And the trembling in her voice, proclaimed she was free.


"I am going on a journey, to a far away land"..

"I will rest for eternity, while Jesus holds my hand".

"In awe I will be, as the angels cry Holy"..

"For no pain and no sorrow, will cover me boldly".


I held on to her hand, so fragile and so weak..

Her wrinkles full of sadness, her lips could not speak.

I watched as she bent, and the silence was so loud..

Three score and ten, were past each heavy cloud.


She hugged me in her arms, and whispered "I Love You"..

"I'll see you on the other side, when your time is due".

"Fifty-seven years, I have known who Jesus is"..

"Now at last I wil


l meet Him, and tell Him I am His".
