Notes About The Poem

 

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bound them about your neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: The Proverbs, Chapter 3:3

____________________________________________

Mercy and Unadorned Truths

**** I ask, Lord, help me live my life with mercy, and I promise to fill my days with acts of kindness; empathy to all, forgiveness will drip from my lips, I will be gracious, tender, for all my earthly days. O, Lord, I will speak with honesty and truth, with unvarnished, factual, authenticity and integrity; yes, my words will sometimes speak of grim reality, but always I will give only unadorned honest truths. I swear that I will bind mercy and truth to my neck, and wear as a necklace for all the days of my life; it will be so beautiful that all who see me will know that I am bless by the Lord in grace and gentleness. ___________________________ October 24, 2019 Poetry/Verse/Mercy and Unadorned Truths Copyright Protected, ID 19- 1190-997-02 All Rights Reserved.
