Excellent Look not at things that are seen but things that are unseen. The Face in the MIrror by John Cranford      Spiritual Poem Contest Winner

I look in the mirror And what do I see A face that's not the same... Looking back at me Where once youth had danced Time has taken its toll Now I see the lines... A face that has grown old Am I looking at me Now or in the past Father time will not wait... And youth will not last But my time is now The mirror can't explain I'm renewed each day... Upward my thoughts I train I'm just a trave'lr here My home is on high On earth I may grow weak... But there I can fly Things that are unseen Are what I look for here When I reach my home... My mirror will be clear   Writing Prompt Write a spiritual poem on the theme of 'Change' Spiritual Poem Contest Winner Author Notes "...Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to things that are seen but to things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. - 2 Corinthians 4:16-18.
