The Hidden Cottage - Thomas Kinkade
My words and thoughts do both express this notion,
That Life has with the sun a double motion.
The first Is straight, and our diurnal friend,
The other Hid and does obliquely bend.
One life is wrapped In flesh, and tends to earth:
The other winds towards Him, whose happy birth
Taught me to live here so, That still one eye
Should aim and shoot at that which Is on high:
Quitting with daily labor all My pleasure,
To gain at harvest an eternal Treasure.
[For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.]
