Verlena S. Walker Poet Free verse

Misty Blue

MISTY BLUE
Uncle Eddie retrieves his groceries.
He is tall and abreast to his lineage.
He honors family and all his people through his insight 
     as well as his intelligence.
Not blind or blindsided from who seeks his temple, 
     eventually, the pilfer will fail.

Uncle Eddie is not one to cozen with.
His feet are afflicted; nonetheless, he is a strong man.
     His soul and spirit will be restored.
The thieves are no longer in the temple of God.
     How great thou are!
