Yet [*/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; . . . And At My Age, 2

. . . I know Whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He

is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against

that day.

---2 Timothy 1:12


[in remembrance of that period, November 23rd through December 31st, 1976]


At my age, I have learned, at last, to realize

the meaning of that period, at the end of nineteen seventy-six:

such blessings and joys in a most exquisite mix,

not subject to my flaws or temptation's tricks.

That time was both metaphor and simile for the final stage of life---

without the conniptions of selfishiness or strife,

a summing up (before the approaching edge of nineteen seventy-seven)

of those treasures I should commit to Christ in Heaven.


J-Called

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The last line also alludes to Matthew 6:19-20.
