What Am I?

I rediscovered this brief "poem" of mine recently, while rummaging through some old computer files.   I remember writing it back in college, oh so long ago.   It was shortly after I'd come to faith in Christ, and I was trying to work through how different my view about ultimate destinies had become now that I was a Christian, as opposed to what I had once believed when I was edging near the borders of atheism.   I do not claim that this is great literature by an stretch! But the thoughts expressed here still ring true to my mind.

WHAT AM I?

What am I?

Some absurd ape taken in by a grand illusion
of false grandeur?

Or am I a child of a loving Creator-God
formed from dust into his everlasting image.

Is my life wrapped up in a sad delusion?

A delusion that will pitiably end in the sticky
black darkness of death?

Or am I destined to serve my King,
to serve my King in eternal, heavenly glory?

But I know in Whom I have believed,
And I am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I have entrusted to Him
Until that final day.

Yes Lord, I am Yours.
Amen.
