Notes About The Poem

A PERSPECTIVE IN LIFE’S UPS AND DOWNS

 

Late last night, I was 

Parallel to the full moon:-

That changed this morning:

I am perpendicular 

To another day’s sunshine

 

Glory be to God

Another surviving night,

And its rising day:  

Me ready for all of life’s 

Up and down tribulations:-

 

In life’s ups and downs,

Let’s forever be in God’s 

Labors of His love:

Seeking true equality

For all of humanity:-  

 

In life’s ups and downs, 

Let us pull down injustice;

Raising up justice:

Don’t be blind to injustice, 

Up there, pulling down, justice:-:

 

Much more could be said, 

But it’s parallel time now—

Tomorrow waiting:

May God see fit to have me

Perpendicular again:-

A PERSPECTIVE IN LIFE’S UPS AND DOWNS 

Late last night, I was 
Parallel to the full moon:-
That changed this morning:
I am perpendicular 
To another day’s sunshine

Glory be to God
Another surviving night,
And its rising day:  
Me ready for all of life’s 
Up and down tribulations:-

In life’s ups and downs,
Let’s forever be in God’s 
Labors of His love:
Seeking true equality
For all of humanity:-  

In life’s ups and downs, 
Let us pull down injustice;
Raising up justice:
Don’t be blind to injustice, 
Up there, pulling down, justice:-:

Much more could be said, 
But it’s parallel time now—
Tomorrow waiting:
May God see fit to have me
Perpendicular again:-
