Robert A. Dufresne Poet Tetractys

Mercy

.                                         His
                                        Mercy
                                    Justly sought
                                  Requires practice
                      By we who desire it- but give it not

                      Practice may entail even little things
                                    Saying  hello
                                      Talking with
                                         Lonely
                                          Folks.


Math.Ch5 vs7.
           " Blessed are the merciful
             for they shall obtain Mercy."
