After a long time
As a good and faithful servant
His Lord said “Well done”
Senryu
Written I honor of Billy Graham’s entrance into the joy of his Lord today at the age of 99.

Well done, good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Matthew 25:21
When I read your word
I thought, and I turned my feet.
I made haste
To try to obey your commandments,
And walk in your ways each day.

Based on Revelation 6:2
In the beginning God created
The heaven and the earth.

In the beginning God created.

It’s a truth of great worth.
In the beginning God created
The heaven and the earth

The tiny seed that he found
Yet he sang for joy
For his heart was contented
And filled with godliness

Hope is a Promise,
Hold fast to it without wavering.
Hope is Living, through God’s
Mercy in Christ’s resurrection.
Hope is Grace and God.
Hope’s in you and me.
Hope is an Anchor,
That’s sure and steadfast-cling to it.
Hope is ours for the Future.
