When, when will it be--
the projected, promised
"Jubilee"-- great
celebration of the
human family?

Since, our lives, and
our every possession,
are only temporary,
borrowed beauty
for a time only...

And earth sojourners
are but part-time
renters of the riches
they enjoy-- that
given at birth, not
possessed fully...

By plan of heaven,
we deploy on earth
for only an interval--
to envision the given,
develop, study, and
become "worthy"...

Then, as perfected
humanity we graduate
to angels, finally ready
and able to enjoy the
great celebration--
over the horizon,
in eternity.
