JUST ONE MORE DAY, MY BELOVED FRIEND!

By Yasen Vedrin

(The Copper Bowl)

Just one more day live for Christ and maintain,

Without thinking of years passed away,

For this world is enslaved by a villain's dark reign,

And black swarms plunder it every day.

Just one more day fill with kindness and grace,

With a smile touch the poor on your track.

If He knocks at your door in a sorrowful space,

Do not cause God to wait or turn back…

Just one more day let each word that is said

With the pulse of pure Righteousness glow,

For deceit has enticed many souls where they’re led,

Filling tongues with a weight of dark lead below.

Just one more day let your bright, holy tears

From your grief into prayers start to pour.

Maybe angels with them will destroy all the fears,

Driving villains away from your door.

Just one more day testify to the crowd

Of the Lord, who looks into your mind!

Just one more day let Him shine through the cloud!

Just one more day let His Love bless mankind!

For with days that His Covenant granted to give –

Even centuries shorten and fade,

But with Enoch's pure Spirit on high you will live,

Finding heights once the crossing is made.

Just one more day, my beloved friend! One!…

Let the Light through your soul start to gleam!

For the human was born of the Father and Sun,

Like a ray whole life living His dream.
