It all boils down
From an undermining perspective
Downplayed when quantified
But a starting point
Hardly can you see
But condenses and precipitate
The collapse of a firm ?
I was a leaking penny
On various blindspots
Can make or unmake you
With just a phrase
And not an edition
I feel liss in your abode
As you wallow in despair
Until you become decedent
Latent and rarely apparent
Don't take me for granted
I am small but mighty

The good shepherd so young so kind
Has anyone been as loving towards mankind
Tender and warm to children and to his lambs
The aged and ill in the streets in the prisons
He was born a living decedent of Abraham
Reminding the world that there is a heavenly life
That even after his death he was arisen
Teaching that money is only for use to those in need
There is a life of kindness a life of good deeds
The wine and bread are In remembrance of him
As he thought of us and us of him as his pilgrims
That you are remembered as the heavens are aware
Of the worries and whispers in the darkest of night
Remember him as he remembers you always there
In the cold and darkness amid His most golden of lights
