The Ornament

For you I've awaited a lifetime in whose heart is clarity every virtue in you is realized individual traits of a rarity Your foresight understands ages like gems your facets reflect every spectrum covered rainbow in the things you did not neglect You have focused upon the real life sought the finest treasures to find found the path to eternal glory your approval by God kept in mind Every essence of your person I savor like sweet smelling smoke of incense you have kept your garments of whiteness and washed your hands in innocence In every course followed your Master did seek every lesson he taught applied them with skill and precision and reigned in your every thought You listened to every Word spoken and dug into the mysteries ground wrote them upon the flesh of heart your possessions as they were bound You have removed all that's discordant polished every jewel to a shine placed them in a filigreed setting the traits that will last for all time How carefully you took in instruction each quality conformed to what's right did arrange a garment worth wearing each quality lustrous in light Your baring of it's graces are lovely within your heart there lay no fraud I've exalted you with rejoicing You have put on the Love of our God COPYRIGHT © 2012 C Michael Miller via Duboff Law Group LLC
