Notes About The Poem

repost from 2008 ..the unchanging word

A Pivotal Practice

Practical common-sense,
 prudence prevails as-
Our pivotal practice.

The right lengths,no further,
in all temperance prevails as-
Our pivotal practice.

With the guts to go on,
fortitude prevails as-
Our pivotal practice.

Hearing both sides,
fair justice prevails as-
Our pivotal practice.

Chaste and correct,
fornication forgone as-
Our pivotal practice.

Unfashionable, undeniable
Christian concerns as-
Our pivotal practice.

I really like the repetition of "our pivotal practice" at the end of each stanza. Really sums up each gem of wisdom in the previous two lines - especially the last stanza, Brian. I see you put your "refreshment time" to good use!
