But then . . .

Peter Ward

^{Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:}
^{now I know in part; but then}
^{shall I know even as also I am known.}
^{—I Corinthians 13:12 (emphasis added)}

My first waking thought arrives
. . . gently stirring
in the stillness.
I’m feeling immeasurably small,
listening in peace,
waiting to hear even a tiny idea.

I’m adoring God,
and as my smile dawns,
these words come:
“God is my life.”
Grateful tears appear;
I am not alone.

I am beyond the glass.
I am known.
I am loved.
God is my life.

The words are mine!
Face to face, in His likeness,

. . . I awake.
