Philosophical Rhapsody

A passage through time,
Perhaps understood and misunderstood.

There for the grace of God go I,
Reflective experiences.

Successful and daring,
Dangerous ghosts of the past haunt us.

A friend is a rare commodity,
Learned yet learning.

Man evasive and friendly,
The church a noble companion of the past.

Miracles to have experienced them all,
You pray that they continue.

God's grace understood by compatible neighbours,
To have reached a realm beyond normal comprehension.

The Lord God is a true fortress, do not ask me without my permission,
God guides and triumphs, guiding us to tommorrow.
