More Poetry ( page 6 ) - Blood on the Moon
| This poem is dedicated to all who are in need, all who will help, and especially to ADRA, a world wide disaster relief organization: FOR MY NEIGHBOR by RFH Why should I seek to live a life of ease; Earning and spending only as I please? Nearer and nearer does misery creep as thru life I labor; The more comfortable my life, the less I have for my neighbor. Luke 10:25-37 in part reads: "... a certain law- yer stood up ... saying, 'Master, what shall I do To inherit eternal life?' [And Jesus] said, 'What is written in the law?' [The lawyer] answering said, '... love ... God with all thy heart ... soul ... strength ... and ... mind, and thy neighbor as thy- self.' [Then] to justify him- self [the lawyer asked], 'And who is my neighbor?' [After Jesus gave him the Story of the man left for dead by thieves, the two unconcerned men who passed him by, and the compassionate Samari- tan who rescued him, Jesus asked], 'Which now of these three ... was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves?' And [the law- yer] said, 'He that show- ed mercy on him.' Then said Jesus unto him, 'Go and do thou like- wise.' " The Desire of Ages, Chapter 54, in part reads on Page 503, "Our neigh- bor is every person who needs our help." And reads on Page 504, "When we see human beings in distress, whether through affliction or through sin, we shall never say, 'This does not concern me.'

Job 19:27 "With my own eyes -- and not the eyes of another -- shall I see Him." Rev. 22:4, 5 "They shall see His face, His name in their foreheads ... and they shall reign with Him forever." Rev. 1:7 "He is coming with the clouds [of angels] and every eye shall see Him ..." 1 Thes. 4:13-17 "... the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep ... the dead in Christ shall rise first ... we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

BLOOD ON THE MOON
by RFH
First,
a great earthquake,
then after the tribulation
signs in the sun,
moon, and stars
that would
startle a nation.
These were the signs
God gave for the end;
in this very order
to happen, my friend.
And as true as He is
to His word,
the events happened
as hearts were stirred.
The Lisbon earthquake,
felt overseas,
began the fulfillment
of these prophecies.
Then,
in seventeen-and-eighty
came the Dark Day;
the blotted-out sun
left many in dismay.
That night the moon
came out -- blood red!
'Tis surely the end
of the world,'
many said.
But a whole fifty-three
years later, in
eighteen-thirty-and-three,
the sky cast down
her stars
as unripe figs
from a shaken tree.
Two hundred-thousand
shooting stars an hour
thru the night --
'Surely the world
will end now,'
said many
with hearts a-fright.
But the world has gone on,
not the same but worse,
so that our Father
might save more
from this
terrible curse.
Oh, Spirit of God:
Is Messiah near and
coming soon?
Are we covered
by His blood,
or frightened
by blood on the moon?
1 Thes. 5:20 "Despise not
prophesyings." (See also
1 Cor. 14:31)

Over many years, this
poem has been shared only privately and has helped to save more than a few marriages. Because of the alarming increase in divorces all over the world, it is high time to release this one publicly: I SHALL ALWAYS LOVE YOU by RFH I shall always love you, tho' no longer side-by-side; What a sad separation -- it's as tho' you had died. I step into the future -- no idea what's ahead -- Only left with trust in God and a half-empty bed. What happened is uncertain, but probably for the best; For us the only prayer I pray: 'Somehow we'll both be blest.' For the years of love gone by, I have not one regret; For the moments of contention, we must forgive, forget. Life's too short, too fragile, to dwell upon the past; Our love has suffered from it, tho' we thought it would last. Now we're trying separate roads, for each a lonely ride; I shall always love you, tho' no longer side-by-side.
