Perpendicular to the ground
For some 80 years, each day
I walk through the shadows
Of death fearlessly; for each
Day’s author of love walks
With me everywhere I go,
And where He is, fear is not.
Thus, each day for me is one
In which I engage in that of
Being in good trouble deeds
of labors of love; serving its
Author by being in service
To my fellow beings as I
Follow the divine wisdom and
Guidance forever flowing from
His overflowing cistern of love:-
Thus, each day my saucer is shared
As I live to forever be an Instrument
Of His love and an enlightening reflector
That is of His peace and very presence.
For indeed are the steps of a good man
Ordered and his end is that of peace.
