Angel's Beginning

By Gerald Sumeracki

True Love is in the sharing
The Triune God knew well
The Love He had for His One Son
He would his creatures tell.

His Knowledge was His Image
That look within Himself
Reflected back the Son of God
Firstborn of Heaven's wealth.

There was no need for sharing
For Father Son and Love
Were perfect in their Triune state
The Knower, Known and Dove.

But want to be full sharing 
Resulted in His cause
To bring forth serving spirits
As well as His good laws.

He brought forth hosts of angels
Their numbers known by Him
And let them share His special place
Before some's future dimmed.

Their fall would come most surely
When told of His good plan
To bring forth man upon the earth
To rule their future clan.

One leader of the angels
Great Lucifer by name 
Did say "I will not serve thy Man"
"And lower my great fame."

He gathered hosts of angels
Who rallied to his cause
"We'll fight to win all heaven's wealth"
"Defeat God's rules and laws."

And so they war'd in heaven
One third were lost to Hell
The place our God did have to make 
A dark and lonely well.

And when God brought forth mankind
He knew what fate would come
For they who fell did hate man so
To hell they'd have man come.

Man's life would be a struggle
To reach a chosen goal
A choice would need be given
To save or lose each soul.

God always seeks the true love
Of each and every one
If love for God be lacking
Than crowns for them be none.

The fate of such is dismal
Existence without Love
Eternal life with tortured souls 
Who lost their place above.
