Learning Midst Involvement Zest

As student of freedom truth’s glow My mind seeks wisdom beams to show Divine presence of counsel light… You, Lord, can grant by Your grace* might. Valuing treasured learning gain My heart allows sharing to reign Optimizing kindness’ delight… You, Lord, can grant by Your grace might. Fully engaged with caring zest My soul strives for performance-best Beseeching that love drives my plight… You, Lord, can grant by Your grace might. Forgive my selfishness and greed As I do forget virtues’ creed Please remind me truths, always right… You, Lord, can grant by Your grace might. Involve me** fully, such I pray In sublime service of blest ray While reaching-out toward faith’s height… You, Lord, can grant by Your grace might.
*1Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. **"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." -Benjamin Franklin July 11, 2023 2nd place, "A Quote For A Kyrielle" Poetry Writing Contest Sponsored by Sotto Poet; judged on 7/16/2023.
