Vestige of Light

Vestige of light may you often shine
in passages summoned upon thin lines
granted too fast on honor flights
from notes of praise and gratitude
into long love sonnets lost from sight

Above the alter of solemn hymns
where patience runs in hallowed halls
with secrets dark on leaden souls
forgiveness brought with sacred trust
in stained glass windows visions hold

To grasp the word and follow may
to mold your brethren in certain ways
a hand, a heart, a promise  true
of mind, of touch, imparts free will
a humble man, a simple role, 
a life He gave, to save your soul
