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
