Notes About The Poem

Author's Notes: This is a "Tanka" or a Japanese verse form write on the subject of "Almighty Lord God." I chose this subject for this write in counter-distinction to a Tanka I posted on June 5th on "Lucifer." I don't believe I need a lengthy note at all to explain the supreme role and importance of God in our respective lives. (Gary Bateman - June 26, 2015) (Tanka)

Almighty Lord God

Almighty Lord God

Heavenly Master—
Always omnipotent, yes!
Our Lord God is Love . . . 
	Always omnipresent, yes! 
Eternity’s Divine Force!
