I Still Must

HAIKU# 12,029-12,034 I still must look up Beyond horizon of time And smile with each now I still must rely On promise from the Most High Pardon equals life I still must believe The universe awaits us With gems far from foul I still must endure Rest assure curt kindness cures Festering mean sores I still must converse With God muse and family In this our mansion I still must hold fast Knowing gems from the Source Is as close as breath I still must give back Reflections from gems I've had From HIM her and you. *
