To Read the Impossible Read
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where the brave dare not go
—Mitch Leigh/Joseph Darion (Lyrics “The Impossible Dream”)
TO READ THE IMPOSSIBLE READ
To read the impossible read.
To write with arthritic fingers.
To suffer the fate of the muse.
To refuse not to have courage.
To stride with ink into old ‘hood.
To ruminate with perspective.
To be perspicacious in cause.
To draw in air, less pretentious.
To touch blood-red threads of Christ’s hem.
To be healed - mind, body and soul.
To be bold, not scared nor craven.
To believe, touch the heart of God.
To be blinded by pearly gates.
To see Eden - new, glorified.
To behold born again apple.
To place your feet on streets of gold.
