+ 9TH POEMS: Prayer To My Lord And Saviour

. . . 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
