REMEMBER
that you must always lift your eyes up to the Lord
for that is where you get your strength
SO
in the depths of your heart
realize your salvation will come from the Lord
for it is said he made Heaven and Earth
RECALL
when you pray the Lord listens
and he watches over you, always
NOW
follow your unique path in this life, knowing
the Lord is holding your hand
he is with you each moment, each day and night
BUT
his demand, ignore all evil and evil ways
for that is the devil's temptation
and he has many faces and many tricks
RATHER
you must keep your soul pure
and the temptation of gold and earthly possession
will pale in your eyes
FOR
it is said that the Lord will be with you on your final day
and then, you will know forevermore
Reference Psalm 121:1-8

DISTICH-a poetic Phrasis
REMEMBER
the ungodly shall not stand in the judgement,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous
SO
who may ascend to the hill of the Lord
or stand in His holy place?
RECALL
He was brusied for our inquities,
wounded for our transgressions
NOW
ask and it will be given you,seek
and you will find
knock and the door will be opened
BUT
do not give what is holy to dogs
nor cast pearls to swine
RATHER
submit to one another
lean upon each other in love
FOR
a merry heart makes medicine even better
whereas a broken spirit dries the bones
Refer to PS 1:5/23 Is 53:5 Mt 7:6/7 Eph 5:21/23
