Yet [*/+/^] : When That Time Comes, A Valedictory

I do not know how much longer I have to live,

so I will thank you, postpoems, gratefully

for this fine, onsite, opportunity
to publish, through the years, my poetry.

Those who have carried an urge to judge,

from outside, like to begrudge

to us the Joy of Common Salvation,

which is and shall always be my soul's chiefest exultation

among the redeemed of the great congregation;.

 

I ask you to overlook my human perfidy,

to understand my failures and forgive

them.  In Christ, I have been made acceptable:

flesh fails, but the Christian Salvation's certainty

is His seal of redemption on my soul,

making me His---in this life and eternally.


J-Called

[*/+/^]

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The sixth line alludes to a situation that Christ, Himself, described in Matthew 10:36.
