Cleaving to Divine Killick
"He will progress toward retrogression..."
Mother's heart defied such prognosis
yet it reverberated, haunting soul
thus, faith cleaved to divine pillar
toward hope fueling functionality
surmounting spastic bouts
conquering seizures

Now, milestones radiate

likewise taking steps with walker's brace
vanquishing mother's fear
toward triumph of impossibilities
enabled by the divine anchor.

Cleaving To Christ
Cleaving to Christ* for close communion
Cared-for am I around His covenant-clout
Clinging ceaselessly to Him, my Creator

Chosen charity-caused comforter
Claimant am I of His courage
Cleansed, corrected, chastened…
Contented am I circumspectly
Cheerfully constrained by His compassion
Commanded toward Christian consecration!!!
*1Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son
