1985 Christmas Poem

My child, My child
He said
Why did I send You?
Why did I let you go away
It's barely a second of eternity
And yet you are gone
With them, among them
Apart from Me.
You have gone
As I have sent You
Obedient,
Willing to do My will
Still You are mine
Yet I will forsake You
Before You return
To added glory
To them it will seem
A small beginning
Unlike any others
They have known
Yet the ending
Will be different
Reversing all
They have known and done
If only they could know
If only they would believe
The reason why
And enter into Our joy
It's not so long now
Nor so difficult
For I know why -
You went for love
