+ 8TH POEMS: Yet, Realize This Too; Look Unto 1 John 4:18

Lord, I thank You with the utmost gratitude and sincerity

that, when Your infinitely abundant Mercy gave my soul a lift,

starward to Your presence in Your Kingdom's eternity;

and that, in Your kindness, the way I have loved BlueShift

has become, at this stage of my life a metaphor and simile

(beyond the skeptical reach of the homophobic enemy)

to direct and guide the way I love You, Jesus, in the flesh and spiritually.

As flawed as we humans can

As flawed as we humans can be, to find that compassionate grace and actually have faith in its Giver all worldly obstacles fade in the Presence. A true encouragement to all have fallen short of glory.

Most welcome StarwardLed. I do believe that stature is a matter of perception and the external and internal views are not always in accord. But you shall always have a sincere response from this pen. Smile

Thank you, kind Sir, for

Thank you, kind Sir, for using my (hopefully final) screen name, and for the words of your comment.  I am happy to report that, last week, I was able to be examined by one of our area's top neurologists (four months' wait for an appointment) and the meds he gave me have cleared away the fog of pain, and my thinking and perceptions are much improved.o

Now that is very good news indeed. Good thing I was able to post up that extended version of the exiles' poem.
