SMILING AT THE FINISH LINE...

Two things we are told and should always

recall: Our light should so shine that all

may know our good works; and all things

work together for good to we who are

called by God for his mission purpose.

 

                    Prologue

 

Today the tolling bells are ringing and

the mission purpose grows towards

physical ending; leaving its spiritual

energy behind …

 

Many apostolic have gone on

but the epistles they left behind

remain sermonic lessons to be

 taught, learned, and implemented…

 

While the paper may be white,

the inking remains black—as it was

the beginning:  washing feet surpassing

the washing of bloody hands…

 

Death has its purpose—

the resurrection from suppression

that which has been the oppressed truth…

 

And while the inking of the truth

of the word often struggles in its flow

know that its epiphany is inevitable…

 

May the tears that flow from me

forever water the flowers I leave

behind; blooming peace, love...

love….and the enlightening word.

 

                   Epilogue

 

And may my passing in passing

this way, the Almighty will bless

with permanent footprints guiding

my heirs into the arena of good trouble

 

Like the freed butterfly from its cocoon,

each struggling freedom flight has been

a beautiful laboring sojourn of love’s will

etching the skies with soaring liberation…

 

Though many of us will not be around—

perpendicular to the ground—to celebrate and

enjoy the great day, remember, the workers die

but the work goes on; for what was fought for and

and won…must be secured and forever maintained…

 

Like the butterfly continuing in “…the triumphant path

of the air…” until no longer seen soaring, I---like Paul in

his waning time---humbly continue in the waning times

of the mission purpose that God has assigned unto me…

 

I’ve been blessed to stay in good trouble—fighting

the good fight—armed with audacious hope and faith

energizing me in mind, body, and soul with divine wisdom;

the power of the spirit guiding me towards the finished course:-

 

Such is the essence of legacy:  Not of the person

but of the energizing encouragement left behind

to nourish the determining hope and faith of those

coming torchbearers who are likewise to journey.
