The Golden Tree

A part of my personal book of Poetry, Dreams and Revelations

Once upon a time to come someday

I dreamt of a land that seems far far away

with a garden of bounty and joy untold

There in it’s midst is a tree of gold

The waters around it shine and flow

over its shores it overflows

it feeds life into the fruit that grows

blossoms of fruit from a tree of gold

Behold the sun that shines pure light

illuminating the stars that gleam at night

they fall like glitter upon my head

I hear the words that The Savior said

One day I will appear high in the air

I’ve prepared a mansion for us to share

My glory doth reign upon the earth

Celebrate my 3rd coming and your new birth

I have heard the cymbals, the bass, the snare

as you played those drums and tarried there

thru faith, love pain, adversity

you have played those drums and worshipped me.

There as I bathed in the shade of the golden tree

I found golden drumstick, made just for me

My hands have never felt this good

I’m blessed with sticks of gold, replacing sticks of wood

I have never wanted or dreamt of earthly fame

It’s my honor to worship and praise your holy name.

You have blessed my life with joy untold

under the shade of your covering

from your beautiful tree of gold
