. . . the common salvation . . . the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
---Jude 1:3
Lord Jesus Christ, regnant King and God, God's triumphant Son,
I pray, and need to pray far more, "Lord Jesus, Thy Will be done."
At this frustrating affliction's signatory behest,
I believe it has come to teach me that every day is Christ's gift
(and in knowing this, I can be securely and serenly blest)
despite this illusion that this world is a spiritual rift.
And each dawn and dusk can give me a spiritual lift
closer and closer to that starward soar.
Each day---if I may be so bold to sugest---
brings me a little bit further along the ledge, each a day a bit more
close to the launch site toward His Kingdom's constellated nearer edge.
J--Called
