Wake Up Dear

I met a lady in the clinic today who I had known for years but we never spoke up close. We interchanged stories of our experiences with illness and trade old memories. We laughed away the hours and all too soon the nurse called my name. It seemed sooner than usual and once more I saw God’s purpose for keeping us alive. This old and distant acquaintance became a friend.

 

Wake Up Dear

 

When she wore a monitor her heart stopped thrice

And the Lord said Wake Up Dear! You’re much too nice

Keep evangelizing my word for all to hear

Embrace your enemies and show them you care

Use the time to bring more souls to a brighter end

People saw you work, now let them see a friend

Don’t be concern about remedial task, there’s a greater one

Evangelize the Lord’s way, speak kindly to all and refuse none

A granddaughter had been there for you, to watch your back

Remember He will hold a weaken soul when the body is under attack

 

 

Same poem, new acrostic

 

Wake Up Dear

 

When shE wore a monitor her heart stopped thrice

And the Lord said Wake Up Dear! You’re much too nice

Keep evangelizing my word for all to hear

Embrace your enemies and show them you care

Use the time to Bring more souls to a brighter end

People saw you work, now let them see a friend

Don’t be concern about remedial task, there’s a greater one

Evangelize the Lord’s way, speak kindly to all and refuse none

A granddaughter had been there for you, to watch your back

Remember He will hold a weaken soul when the body is under attack
