When I ‘ woke up ‘ this morning, I didn’t groan or creak As I reached out to the nightstand, my spectacles to seek. I couldn’t feel their framework; and much to my surprise, I saw the room quite clearly when I opened up my eyes! I noticed when I showered that I moved a little quicker, Then when I went to wash my hair, it seemed a little thicker! I went to get my dentures to set them on my gums, But there were teeth already there! Now where did they come from? Although my hearing aids weren’t in, I heard the doorbell ring! When I went to answer it, I saw the greatest thing… Why there were friends and family all standing around my door- They all looked so happy, we hugged and hugged some more! The tears were flowing freely, so happy were we all, Then they began to fill me in on things I can’t recall. They tell me that I died way back in 1998. That I’ve just been asleep since then, on the resurrection to await! I’m eager for them to tell me about Armageddon’s War, How Jesus won the victory, and what happened just before! We sing Jehovah’s praises, we laugh and talk ’til dark, They tell me ’bout the progress to turn the earth back to a park. ‘How long from when I died’ I ask, did that old system end? How far along is the thousand years’? And ‘What about my friend?’ They tell me names of some I knew, who died so faithfully, Then they mention briefly some we will never see! Some names do not surprise me, some names are quite a shock! I’m just so glad that I am here as one of Jesus’ flock! Written by Bill Davis
